    Sounds good to me. For those who think it's a "BAD" recipe because of the fat, I say, well, you can fit anything into your diet in small amounts, and it's good to have the calorie counts so you know where it can fit. - 12/19/08

    i want to make this recipe soon. It sounds like something my husband would also like to eat. I would eat it in small portions.
    I wonder if I could freeze part of it, after it's cooked. There are only two of us.

    This was good but I would have liked it a little creamier. I used half of the butter, so maybe next time I'll try all of the butter instead. - 12/29/08

    This is very similar to a recipe I make, I use fat free sour cream instead of the half and half. Cook about 1.5 hours for the full pan. - 12/18/08

    Do I bake the potatoes first? Or peal them then bake them? - 12/9/08

    You bake them in the skin. When I peel the baked potatoes for the dish I usually leave a little of the skin but not everyone likes the skin.

    245 calories for ONE side serving of mashed potatoes? You could eat an entire Lean Cuisine entree or main dish for the same amount! You have to be a serious mashed potato fan to spend that amount of calories on a single serving! Sorry! Don't think this is very healthy. - 12/21/08

    i might sound a little weird, but what is fat free half and half ?? - 12/16/08

    Reply from DVTBABCD (12/18/08)
    fat free half and half is half and half with the fat removed. It is available in the dairy case at most supermarkets.

    Doesn't it seem like this would be a very high calorie with the butter in it? - 12/15/08

    Reply from DVTBABCD (12/15/08)
    I don't consider 13.6 grams of fat to be excessive when part of a balanced meal. This dish tastes great and is very satisfying.

    This does not seem like a good recipe for folks wanting to change to a healthier lifestyle. It could be improved for those of us watching calories, sodium and cholestrol. - 12/14/08

    I just read the recipe, but I haven't tried it yet. I plan to make it in the near future, but I plan to use red potatoes and 2% chesse. Will let you know how it comes out and if my family likes it. They are so hard to please. Sounds like it would be an excellent side dish. Thanks. - 12/14/08

    Wouldn't it be more like a twice-baked potato if it had the skins? I think I will try cutting up the skins and adding them to the casserole - 12/13/08

    sprakit-yes bake and then peel.

    I am going to make this with 2T of smart balance light in place of the butter, and with skim milk in place of the half and half. I will let you know how it comes out. I will rate it after I make it.
