  1. These were great, nice & creamy. I made them in the morning to heat for tea tonight. I made as directed this time but next time will also add bacon & onion. Thanks!
     
  2. I made this for Thanksgiving and it delivered--good texture. I don't think I ever used Russet potatoes to mash before. It might have needed just a tad more milk. Next time I think I'll test it with one of those "flavored" cream cheeses. It held up with left overs also--just kept adding a little more milk to soften it up.
