No rocket science involved here to make these decadently delicious. Because of the clarity of the directions these are easy to prepare with guaranteed results even for the novice cook. As suggested in the recipe, I included chopped green onion and cooked, crumbled bacon. Just like a loaded twice-baked potato without all the fuss! I did substitute half-and-half for the evaporated milk and I simply used a hand masher rather than dragging out the mixer.

Great recipe for mashed potatoes! These are definitely creamy and cheesy! I used red potatoes and left the skins on and added a little garlic and onion powder to taste. I used reduced fat cheddar cheese and Land O Laked light butter to cut down on the fat and calories. I used an electric mixer to get the nice and fluffy. Great side dish!

These were good; just as good as my regular mashed potatoes made with skim milk. Don't know if I will spend the extra money buying the FF evaporated milk. Served with "baked chicken-fried steak with mushroom gravy". We all enjoyed.

I have been eating a variation of these since I was a kid. We have always used instant mashed potatoes, make enough for 8-10 servings, then add the evap milk, shredded cheese and some durkee french fried onions, put in a greased casserole dish top with more cheese and onions and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. It seems like it's more work than it actually is and the end result is fantastic, not for the calorie counters. I will make this and eat it as a meal.

Yes, they were good. So similar in taste to my own with cheese and butter and regular milk, I can't see any reason to waste the evaporated milk on them.

I used baby yukon gold potatoes and left the skins on. Instead of using a hand mixer my husband, actually, mashed them with potato masher and they turned out delicious! I had my parents over for Christmas Eve dinner and they loved them. Having the leftovers now, and they are just as good if not better!
