This was okay. Not near as good as it sounds, though. not really very cheesy, and I don't think the eggs help the recipe.

This was a good base to start with. I added 1 thick slice of crisp bacon crumbled up, two green onions with tops. I think the reason some thought this was mushy is because the grated potato gets very starchy after grating. I put my grated potato in a large colandar and rinsed all the starch off before adding to the ingredients.

It was very good, I honestly would say I have to agree with the majority that the Butter could certainly have been cut down slightly. It's certainly worth another go, but I think for my next attempt, I'm going to Chop the onions (to match the shredded Potato), mix in some shredded Spinach, and Mix approximately 1/2 of the cheese into the initial mixture, for a tad more stick to the casserole.

This were very good. I substituted minced garlic, for the onion flakes and only used one egg. I will probably cut some of the butter next time.

Brought this to a church potluck and it was gone quick. We had visitors from Bhutan that are new to the country and was told this was her favorite out of everything.

I would definitely recommend using much less butter and more potatoes. It was alright, but too buttery.

I've had better and I've had worse. I probably would think it was better if I was in Ireland. I thought this dish was very greasy. I would eat it again if I were served it at someone's home. But the next time I want something Irish, I'll try some recipe other than this one. This is not the worst thing I've ever tasted though.

Fabulous, but only 4 stars because I had to tweak A LOT! Follow these instructions and you'll love it too. First cook at 400 not 350. Increase shredded potatoes to SIX CUPS and reduce your butter to 1/3 cup. I didn't have paprika so I used 1 tsp of garlic spread mix and a dash of pepper...yum! Cook for the 40 minutes then put it under low broil for 5 minutes to crisp the top (watch it so you don't overdo it). Pull it out, add your chedder and back in the oven just till melted. Take it out and let it "rest" for 5 minutes before eating. (This gives the butter a little time to absorb because you will see some in there when you pull it out. My hubby and 3 girls devoured this and was so sad I didn't make a bigger batch! I served it with pork chops and veggies. Sooo good!

I added more cheese b/c that's what the family likes and it tasted great. I did add more paprika and salt than what it called for. It was the first time I made it and I was asked to make it more often.

i DID NOT CARE FOR THE LOOKS OF THIS RECIPE. It turned out to be pretty good even though I only used 1/2 the butter the recipe suggests.

This is so good! Of course, less butter, more potato, like everyone else... but, yum! I can finally replace the old family Cheesy Potatoes with the canned soup. I might add parsnips or turnips, or broccoli or cauliflower, and also lighten each serving up with a topper of minced parsley, lemon-basil, and red onion (and a orange or lemon slice as well). And as for the reviewer that said theirs tasted like old potatoes, I can only imagine that they must have been using old potatoes. And make sure the cheese is good and sharp.

This recipe was a big hit with my guests on St. Patrick's Day. I followed the advice of other cooks and added a couple more potoatoes, as well as added a bit more cheese on top, and it tasted delicious. The appreance of the dish wasn't the greatest, but that was easily overlooked by the taste. I was asked for the recipe that evening from a couple guests, therefore, I will be making this dish again in the future!

I made that twice before, my family liked it, even my then boyfriend. With this meal, I'd also honor my Irish roots (I'm 1/4 Irish.)

This tasted good, but didn't look so great! I didn't like the way the eggs looked in it. I had to put them off to the side of my plate. This had a nice flavor but next time I'd add more onions and even try turning it into a breakfast casserole.

This recipe was delicious, did follow the other users comments and used 2 tbs of butter, 5 medium potatoes, and added garlic power, and substitued green and white onion powder for the minced onion. I mixed the cheese in the mixture then added more to the top. I also added in ham for a different flavor and more appealing look as well as parsley. Cooked for about an hour and twenty minutes. Was delicious, will defnitely make it again!

I have been making this for years. My Granmum passed this on to all her granddaughters (with slight differences). My family always enjoys this and we make it regularly. For those that are complaining about it being greasy it is most likely because you are using Margarine instead of butter. My sister did this years ago we found IF you are going to use Margarine instead of Butter then only use 1/2 of what the recipe calls for (so about 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup). Just a note using margarine instead of butter does change the taste of this recipe.

I used olive oil instead of butter and it did NOT turn out at all. It was very oily. Hopefullly it's better with butter. If I made it again, I would add broccoli or some other vegetable and more cheese.
