I liked this recipe, however I think I will try adding some sour cream to the potato mixture.

this came out so good, im definitly making it again! I substitute the milk with 4 Tbs of sour cream, which made it even creamier.

I made this as an alternative to regular old baked potatoes. My family LOVED them. I also added sour cream to the mixture and used green onions fron my garden, because i was out of chives. Will be making again. I didnt think it was that time consuming. I put the taters in the oven while i cooked my meatloaf. muli-tasking!!!

I have made these several times and I usually stir in some sour cream and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Also for some variety I've used diced ham instead of bacon. They always come out great.
