I am just starting to learn how to cook..and let me tell you when I made this dish, my girlfriend and the kids LOVED it. Now I'm asked to make it often (Not sure if that's what I wanted...lol.).

yummy

Dinner time. Made this Mashed Potatoes without bacon though, and Chicken with Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce (no mushrooms - my roomie hates them) for my 2 best roomie ever. Everyone loved it. Definitively will do it again; so yummy.

We really liked it.

I washed the potatoes real well and used the entire potato. It was delicious and very healthy.

Very good

I would add more bacon and use fat free 1/2 and 1/2. Also, I use Neufchatel cheese that has less fat. If I am going to have fat in this dish, I prefer it be the bacon. Butter and chives are essential for us in this recipe.

Ultimate Mashed Potatoes

So tasty! Would probably also be good with cheddar cheese mixed in.
