We haven't eaten these beyond tasting yet - but just the tastes were fantastic! We made a double batch (lemme tell ya' - that's a lotta potatoes) to freeze for our big Christmas dinner. We'll defrost and heat in the oven just like it calls for. Yum! Thanks!

So good and what a blessing to make ahead! I threw in 3-4 cloves of garlic with the potatoes to boil and mashed them right with the taters. Also added about 1/2 cup grated parmesan, and sprinkled top with paprika for color.

Very, very good. I always use these for Thanksgiving now. It's so nice to make them ahead of time and not have to worry about mashing potatoes at the last minute on Thanksgiving Day.

This was an easy and fast way to do mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving. It freed up the stove and was quick to heat up in the micro.

I could have eaten this whole dish by myself, it was that good! Very simple to make and tasted delicious even though I made it 1 day before Thanksgiving. I used 1 (8oz.) brick of cream cheese because it was easier...and how can you have too much cream cheese? :) Thanks for this new staple in my recipe box!

This is excellent! Turned out really good and it was great to have less to make on Thanksgiving day. I would recommend to definitely add some milk and butter on top before baking it though to rehydrate it. I did that and it turned out really good and just like it had been made that same day.

Great recipe!! I use when potatoes are on sale and make big batch, then freeze in zip bags enough for a meal. Makes several bags. Keeps potatoes from sitting and sprouting and i have one step for dinner already done when i need them. Perfect for working moms, saves some energy and time, yet you still have real mashed potatoes. I make these often.

These were really great... my first time making "successful" mashed potatoes! ("successful" as in we actually liked them and they didn't taste bland) In my opinion, what made all the difference in the world was the addition of onion salt... though... I didn't have any onion salt so I used garlic salt (ok, so what made all the difference was that the recipe *said* to use onion salt, which gave me the idea to use the garlic salt) ;-) Anyway, they were really yummy and I only used about 2.5lbs potatoes, 1 package cream cheese, and half a cup of sour cream (plus the pepper and garlic salt of course). They were even good the next day! Thanks!!

Great freezer recipe. I like OAMC and I freeze this in smaller portions for a quick side to a meal. Can be reheated by either microwave or oven. Be sure to stir before serving.

My family has a "cooperative" Thanksgiving. We each contribute. I've been making these potatoes the last few years. There is never enough even with all the other goodies. What a great idea. A real energy saver and delicious too.

This is a great recipe! I made mine for a dinner with friends and they were a big success. We had some left over, and they were just as good the next day.

I was having several people over for Easter dinner so I wanted to have as much food made beforehand as possible so that I could enjoy my guests. While the recipe was very good (although I would add some chives next time), there just 'ain't nothin like the real thing'. The day ahead idea just did't work and they tasted like leftovers. This recipe should be made fresh.

We have made this for many holiday dinners. You can also put these in a crockpot for 5 to 6 hours. It's a great way to keep them warm without the hassle of watching over them!
