I made these as directed except for the onion salt (because I didn't have any) and I didn't bake them. I used garlic salt instead. My husband and I loved these. I think a little chedder cheese sprinkled on top while still hot would make them even better.

OH MY! These are divine! (Did I just say divine? Yes! I did!) They were a hit at my dinner gathering...everyone liked the slightly different texture the baking gave it. I followed the recipe exactly, adding just a few bits of butter to the top before baking. What a wonderful side dish! Don't make them TOO far in advance or the top will get crackly and a little dry. **I LOVE the subtle onion flavor. I usually use garlic, so this was a great way to get me to change it up. =)

Adding cream cheese and sour cream to "smashed" potatoes is something I do routinely. Baking them after they're done is not. I really was very pleased with the end result--they are really so much more attractive this way than simply plopping some mashed potates on a plate! I used full fat sour cream and cream cheese, and a good gob of butter as well. Threw in some chopped chives, baked them in a gratin dish, then garnished them with more chives and, yes, more butter. Beautiful presentation for the lowly mashed potato! If I had been more ambitious, I would have taken it a step further and piped the potatoes into the dish with a decorating tip. Next time...

This was very good. This coming from someone who usually skipps the mashed potatoes. My husband didn't use reduced fat ingredients and substitutes garlic salt for the onion salt. It was a success.

This was not very good. I followed the recipe exactly. Once it was removed from the oven it was so dense you could slice it with a knife. My husband even tried to save it with butter and milk. Needless to say we were quite embarassed as we served our Thanksgiving company. No offense to the creator.

Came out great! I always use butter, but the cream cheese made it super creamy, very light. I would add a little more salt and pepper to taste, as the cream cheese doesn't give it quite as much flavor as the butter.
