My wife prepared these mashed potatoes and they were good. They were a little dry with only a 1/2 cup of half-and-half, but nonetheless, I thought that this was a good all-around hearty batch of mashed tators. It's a winner!

Great recipe! My first time to make mashed potatoes and they turned out awesome! I used more half and half than called for but I think I had more potatoes. Awesome mashed potatoes!

My mashed potatoes weren't what they could be until I tried the lemon juice. I've always got a lot of half and half left over from other dishes with nothing to do with it, so this was PERFECT. I added a little garlic salt. Normally, I put in the dry ranch and/or italian seasoning, but this made me draw back when I reached for the cabinet. Will ALWAYS do.

If I had not of put the lemon an egg white in myself, I would not have known that it was in the potatoes. I didn't think it made any difference at all.

Like some other reviewers, I was a little concerned about using uncooked egg white, but I did it anyway, making sure I added it quickly while potatoes were very, very hot during the beginning of the mashing process. These potatoes were absolutely wonderful. They had a great flavor and were light and fluffy. No more making them the way I used to. This recipe is to be used from now on - at least on regular mashed potatoes. THANKS!!!

I wasn't a fan. Sour and potato don't really belong in the same sentence. Sorry, thanks for the recipe though.

These are incredibly yummy, by far the best basic mashed potato recipe I've found so far. Be careful not to get overzealous with the lemon juice - if you put too much in, it definitely overpowers and ruins the dish. But it does add a nice touch, so I advise that you not omit it completely. Otherwise, it's open to variation...i've done it with or without the half and half, with roasted garlic, green onions, etc. All quite yum.

the lemon juisce gives it the right hit of flavor and my hubby loves it. It's flavorful and uplifting not weighed down by butter taste.

We enjoyed this recipe. I did omit the lemon and left the peel on the potatoes. Thanks for sharing.

Very good. I will admit that the lemon was a bit overpowering...I don't think that I will add next time. But still very good. Thanks for the post.

Made these for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them! Like everyone else, I don't know what the egg whites do. I was a little leery of adding them at the end...I hope the heat of the potatoes cooked them? A good no frills recipe!

I was very pleased with this recipe. I wish I understood what the lemon juice a egg white did but why question what works? I made about a triple batch of this but used only 1/2 cup half and half not only because that is all I had on hand but I like stiff mashed potatoes. Thanks, Minnesotamom!

This is the way mashed potatoes are supposed to taste. Rich, creamy and wonderful. So there's a million calories in each bit. It's so worth it. I served these delicious mashed potatoes with chicken fried steak and gravy. There's nothing I can think of that would have made this any better. Excellent!

Very good! I can finally make mashed potatoes - I've had disaters before! I also used a masher on the potatoes then whipped them & the other ingredients with my mixer because I like my mashed potatoes creamy! I used evaporated milk in place of the half-&-half (a little more than 1/4 cup), about 1/4 t black pepper, and between 1-2 t salt. I also added about 2 t butter extract so they were more buttery flavored without the added fat/calories. Next time I'm going to try fat free evaporated milk to make them even healthier!
