    Very Good
    Easy to prepare. Very flavorful and filling for a lunch. Just added a sprinkling of chives because potatoes always taste better with chives. :) - 5/6/15

    Very Good
    This worked for me. I eased up on the calories -- but not taste -- by using a little milk to mash and less butter and cheese. - 8/16/11
