I tried this recipe at Christmas (my first attempt at bringing the cheesy potatoes). I told my Grandma that I was trying "something new". Should have stuck with Grannys recipe.

Just served this today at our company's holiday potluck and it was a hit. They were creamy and tasty. I took some suggestions from others and added sour cream then diced some ham and added that to make it more of a main dish. There's hardly any left! I will definitely make this again.

This was great! I followed other's advice and added about a cup of sour cream and some shredded cheddar cheese. Everyone loved this dish and it was great since you could make it and not worry about it being ready too early or too late. Several people asked for the recipe!

These were great. I followed the directions. I forgot to spray the pan first and it stuck bad. Next time I will not make the same mistake. I used cheesy french onions as that was all I had and it was great. Will definately be a holiday favorite in our house.

I took the advice of others. I added 8oz of sour cream, a bit of cajun seasoning, salt, pepper and some 'extra hot' seasoning. I also added a can of golden mushroom soup, a can of cream of chicken soup, a small can of mushroom bits and twice the amount of the french onions. My crockpot runneth over LOL but the potatoes were all gonein no time at all. Excellent!!!!! Since then I have added ham cubes and bacon bits to it and it was an even bigger hit!

I was very pleased with this recipe. I tried a couple variations based on other's reviews. I ended up with a mixture of the orginal recipe and other's suggestions. I added 1/2 c sour cream, 6 oz. evaporated milk, 1 stick of butter, and 8 slices of bacon (chopped). I omitted the sliced onion. This final recipe got rave reviews.

This was a great recipe. Only thing I added was Cajun Seasoning to suit our taste. Hubby & kids LOVED this one! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Made this as directed except used one can Southwest Cheddar Jack soup instead of the plain cheddar, and added some grated cheddar jack on top at the beginning. I also ended up doing this in the oven, because I ran out of time for the cooker! I think doing them in the oven might help avoid the "mushy lump" problem someone had. These were just great, the 9x13 pan was emptied. I will definitely make again.

Everyone who tried this enjoyed it at my Christmas Eve buffet. I did add some sour cream and grated cheese based on others' recommendations. I also added a liberal dousing of Old Bay seasoning for flavor. I cooked it on the low setting for 6 hours and it was plenty done. Kind of the consistency of chunky mashed potatoes. Will probably make again.

It was a hit at the pot luck. I did add 8oz. sour cream and 12oz shredded cheddar cheese. It was really good. I will start making this one instead of making it in the oven. Thank you for sharing your recipe

These were bland, so I called my friend who has a recipe that I had made before for these type of potatoes. So I added part of her recipe to it and what a difference this made. Wow. I added to this original recipe 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 green onion (diced),and 1 stick of butter. Wow, This gave it so more flavor.

This was just kind of eh. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor and could really have used something. Maybe some salsa or someting? I even used O'Brien potatoes (with onions and green peppers) and it was still pretty blah. Also, cooking this on high for four hours was way too much. The potatoes were almost mush by the time I got home.

This came out nice and creamy for me. (It wasn't swimming in cheese but it wasn't a thick lump either.) While it's not a "wow" recipe for flavor it's a good basic recipe. Served it at my niece's baptism and everyone enjoyed it. Will make again.

I found this recipe to be too bland in flavor for my families liking. I docotored it up a bit by adding a can of cream of chicken soup, grated cheese (lots), sour cream and spices. This made for a wonderful taste

It came out ok but not very good. I had a big lump of potatoes to which I kept adding more milk to keep it from being so lumpy. Still though, it came out to thick but a couple of people did eat it and like it.
