I took the advice of several others and cut the cream cheese in half - these were wonderful!

Easy to prepare. Used sharp cheddar cheese for the top. Thought about adding roasted garlic to mashed potato mixture for more flavor. Hubby also suggested sauteed mushrooms. Made for my family's traditional meatless Monday meal. Served with steamed broccoli, green salad and crescent rolls

I boiled 5 huge potatoes, Whipped them up with the cream cheese and sour cream. Then I mixed in the garlic powder and a bunch of green onions,and the cheddar cheese. Then baked - I don't know how long - I wanted the top crisp so the last 5 minutes I turned the oven up to 375. They were SO DELICIOUS !!! If you try these don't forget to add the green onions (or Chives) because it made a BIG difference.(Also 1 Pkg of cream cheese is plenty) These are Super Yummy !!!

I've tried this recipie before. Recommended for all ages! Whoever this recipie belongs to, 5 stars to them!

This was good, my dad has a recipe very much the same as this and his is better. His uses mayo instead of sour cream and tops it with bacon, will make this again but with some changes to it

I do something similar- add cream cheese and sour creme to taste as i go. I then freeze in 9 x 13 pan- i do this days ahead of a holiday - take out of freezer in the am. then pop in oven for about 30mins. - taste great and one less dish to fix on a big cooking day

Yummy! Very rich (heart attack in a bowl, really!) but very good.

i have made this twice. First time like the recipe except cut back on cream cheese was good. Second time I add package of dry ranch mix and 1/2 stick of butter to potato mix. Then on top of cheese i add green onions and bacon (chop).

This was ok but it was nothing special. Make sure that the potato is fully cooked before you stop boiling it.

This was a great change from mashed potatoes. I did make some minor changes though. Instead of cheese I use a bread crumb mixture for the topping. Also, I used half the amount of cream cheese.

I make this recipe using seasoned frozen hash browns instead. Saves alot of time.

This is nothing out of the ordinary but is a good, basic, cheap mashed potato recipe to follow that I will make again. The only change I would make is to mix the cheddar cheese in before putting it in the oven instead of layering it on top. The cheese sticks together when you layer it on top and you end up eating big globs of cheese instead of having the cheese mix in with the casserole.

As suggested I only used 1 pkg. of cream cheese and this was still quite rich. We really prefer the twice-baked potatoes to this.

Awesome!! Great for special occasions. I've doubled the recipe twice for large groups and it's always great!

Simply delicious!!!!!

I thought these were good, but definitely not something I would make all of the time. They are so rich and way too fattening for my blood!! I did add bacon bits, used real minced garlic as opposed to the garlic salt and then threw in some salt and pepper to taste. I also used HALF of the cream cheese called for, and fat free cream cheese AND sour cream - just to take away some of the guilt! I chose to mash these instead of whip and if making again, I would stir the cheese into the potato mixture instead of sprinkling it on top, and just bake it for less time. I found the cheese "crust" distracting as it pulled away from the spuds with every bite.

Great as-is recipe! Holy calories though - so watch out! I made this with pierogies for some friends and they loved it. It's been requested a few times, but I limit how often I make it because of the fat content.
