These were excellent potatoes aronsinvest. We really enjoyed this tasty dish. The flavor of the potatoes was wonderful and the cheese, green onions and bacon were the icing on the cake. Great flavor and textures. The potatoes were perfectly mashed and laced wtih great flavors. Nothing clashed, everything blended beautifully creating a memorable dish. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely recipe, which my picky dh & I will enjoy again and again. Made exactly as written for Spring Pac, 2012.
