This dish is so comforting. I can’t wait to try it.
Potatoes are my all time favorite and is so with the family too. Definitely making this beautiful dish for us all to enjoy. Thank you.
Yes! Just in time for Thanksgiving! Thank you for sharing!
This is such a good side dish for Christmas and Thanksgiving! I also like that the texture is a lot different from a potato bake. So if you have a highly textured stuffing, this would go really well to provide that ‘smooth’ sensation. Cheers!
Love the cheese in these mashed potatoes! Such a delicious side dish for the holidays and all year long!
These cheesy baked mashed potatoes sound so good! I’m sick of the plain old garlic ones and look forward to trying these for Thanksgiving!
