    Wow! You definitely need a "Cowboy's" appetite for these mashed potatoes! Who would have thought of adding veggies to this comfort food classic and have it taste so good? I have to admit I was a bit skeptical because I really do like my mashed potatoes with just the basics but this really did turn - Read more ...

    Even with added bacon this was nothing interesting.

    I omitted the pepper as I was serving this with Herbed Pork Chops in Mushroom Sauce I didn't think it would go well together. I used all red potatoes as that was what was on sale today and added more cheese and a 1/4 c. hot milk to loosen the mash up a little. (It - Read more ...

    I have to admit my expectations were pretty low for this recipe despite the reviews. It just sounded kind of strange and I didn't think it would turn out with a nice consitency with no milk, cream, sour cream, etc. I was very wrong and the reviews were right. I don't usually make mashed potatoes - Read more ...

    Great new way to spice up mashed potatoes. Served with our pork chop meal tonight and was enjoyed by all. I used 1/2 green bell pepper which I added to the boiling potatoes about 5 minutes before they were done. Once it came time to mash used a little more butter than called for added - Read more ...

    Why didn't I think of this one before?? I got carrots corn and peas into my kids with nary a whimper or whine plus some calcium and protein with the cheese. All I had to say was 'COWBOY' to my two little boys and they ate two helpings! (The big boy had 3..) Delicious! This - Read more ...

    This makes such a good side dish because you can add or take away what veggies you like..(a good way to get the kiddos to eat them too!!) For those of you who found this to be a little on the dry side...try adding some cream cheese or sour cream. This usually keeeps the potatoes - Read more ...

    Absolutely fabulous! The only change I made was to add in some green peas. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks for sharing Bruticus.:)

    It's so simple I'm almost embarrased I didn't think of it. I added WAY more garlic and had to omit the corn because I was out (will definitely add it next time). Used real butter but only about 3 tablespoons plus about 1/3 cup milk and sharp cheddar. My kids and husband loved it! Boy - Read more ...
