Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
Everyone who has tasted these creamy, cheesy potatoes asks how to make them. Since this comforting casserole bakes at the same temperature as my chicken bundles, I get it started in the oven and pop in the entree a little later.

These potatoes are creamy and delicious! They reminded me of the filling in a pierogi. I did not add cheese on top.
First words out of my boyfriend's mouth after inhaling these heavenly taters: "I need this in my mouth, all the time, everyday, for the rest of my life." And I agreed, wholeheartedly. I didn't have any onion so I used a bit of onion powder instead ??, also added 5 strips of cooked bacon before putting it in the oven ??, and then put it under the broiler for a couple minutes after topping it with (extra) cheese at the end ???? Holy bomb. ?????? Killer recipe, thanks for sharing this little bit if heaven. ??????????
These potatoes are amazing as is! I will definitely be making these again.
I have been making this dish for family gatherings since it was published in 2002. 15 years later, I still get requests.
Wow these were really delicious! A little firmer than I like my mashed potatoes though, so next time I might add some cream. But man are they good!
The best darn cheesy mashed potato recipe the whole family can enjoy! Never have ANY leftover!!!
I made these to go with dinner tonight, an my husband has already requested that I make them more often! I'm thinking of playing with a couple different cheeses even. These potatoes were so creamy and delicious... Definitely a keeper!
Made this for Easter & everyone loved it! I did not add the onion. Next time I will only add 1 teaspoon of the salt - it was definitely too salty for my taste. Based on the expression on my mom's face, it was too salty for her, too, but she was too polite to say so.
I didn't peel the potatoes, so it gave the dish an earthy, hearty feel and taste. I did decrease the cream cheese by half and used 1% milk to moisten and cut calories.
this were a HUGE hit at our family Christmas gathering...will definitely make again!
