Tired of the same old mashed potatoes, I whipped up this new family favorite. We can't get enough of them at our house. Often, I'll prepare this dish ahead and refrigerate it. Then I bake it just before serving.

I took this to a Christmas party and everyone raved! Nothing left! The real bacon gives it a smokey flavor. Tip: for easy REAL bacon "bits", chop the bacon before cooking. Then cook in skillet stirring with a spatula til done. If you do that while the potatoes are cooking, it will all be done together! Another time saver: use red potatoes and leave the skins on for extra fiber! I will definitely make this again!

I made this to take to our family's Thanksgiving potluck and it was a huge hit! To cut down on the time it takes to make this, I subbed bacon bits instead of frying and crumbling bacon slices and I threw it all into the crock pot!!! Done. Cooked on low for 5 hours, took the whole crock pot to my sisters and kept it on the warm setting...perfect. Thanks for a great recipe. Will certainly be making this again.

The whole family loved this. I wasn't feeding a crowd so I used 5 small potatoes and added milk, butter, and sour cream to taste and consistancy I wanted. I also added some garlic powder. That was a good addition.

We made this casserole for Thanksgiving and there was not a spoonfull left! Even the children and babies couldn't get enough. A definite hit!

These potatoes were excellent and I used skim milk, low fat sour cream, and the small bag of (real) bacon bits, which was 2.8 ounces. Unbelievably good.

Loved it. My friend who doesn't like mashed potatoes even requested seconds. Absolutely fantastic!
