I've made this almost every Thanksgiving for the last few years... it's a big hit, at least with everyone except my husband who prefers his sweet potatoes baked.11/22/04

This is one of the best Mashed Potatoes that I've ever had. I thought the name and everything was so original, but I decided to take a look, but it is one great recipe if you made it. It's good. I think families and relatives or friends would love this recipe if you had it on an occasion. Thanks. EstLe11/09/03
