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 chopped up onions very fine and sauted in little bacon grease and added tbl butter. I also tasted this prior to adding the cheese on top/placing it in the oven. very good..next time i will add garlic! perfect change from the regular mashed potatoes.

This made a decent meal, but it was tons of work! Maybe because it makes a ton (14 servings), haha. We enjoyed it, but each plate definitely needs a shake or two of salt and pepper before consumption. I will probably make it again! :)

I have made this recipe at least 4 times and everyone loves it. I can make a meal out this and be happy!

Very good, but a little too rich with the bacon. I won't put the bacon in next time.

This is going to be my go-to potluck recipe! I used only 2 lbs. of yukon gold potatoes (skin-on), and decreased the sour cream slightly and used a splash of cream instead of milk. I used 2 tbsp. of butter and hand mashed. Threw in a little Fontina with the cheddar as well, though only used 1 1/2 c cheese. Tastes almost identical to a nationwide chain's version, but not near as salty. This refrigerates and reheats well, so great for pot luck or treating a sick neighbor with a ready-made, reheat and serve side dish.

Perfect! Better than Boston Market's!

<p>I gave these potatoes only 3 stars because the recipe as is lacks quite a bit of flavor. I added a full cup of sour cream, a whole stick of butter, and 1lb of bacon instead of 1/2. When you cook the bacon down you're really not left with a whole lot and my husband LOVES bacon. It's obviously not a lowfat dish but I only make it for Thanksgiving. I also added something called "21 seasoning salute" and it really made a difference (about 1 1/2 tsp.). Oh.. and I added at least a half cup more cheese to the top!! I love cheese! At Thanksgiving old and young alike RAVE about this dish! Everyone loves it!!!</p>

Oh, yes, I made this for a Potluck at our Church and it's a "Keeper". Everybody loved it.

I thought these potatoes were decent but nothing spectacular. I felt that I could have winged it without a recipe and come up with something just as good. They did have good flavor and were easy to make but I was looking for something special not average. I do not think I would make these again but would still recommend them to someone who likes loaded mashed potatoes and is looking for a good recipe.
