Easy to make and the kids liked it! I added dijon mustard instead of mustard powder and topped it with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

My husband loved this recipe. I didn't care for it too much I would give it maybe a three but I would make it again for him for sure.

I didn't add the mustard but the recipe still turned out wonderful. I added a little more cheese at the request of my fiance' and his friends. There was nothing left after they got a hold of it. Simple and easy to make, I will definitely make again!!! Great flavor and texture too!

My Fincee just loved these, and he really likes the kind that comes from a box. I'll never make boxed potatoes again!

Actually my husband prepared it, and in a toaster oven no less. It turned out fantastic! Our youngest isn't a big potato fan if it isn't french fries or a baked potato, but this one was a big hit all the way around!

This recipe was good but I think it would be better to boil the potatoes first then put everything in the oven. This will reduce some of the time.
