I live for mashed potatoes in the winter time – and that these have protein in them too!

This is so much easier than twice baked potatoes! Love it!
Such a creative dinner idea! Adding it to my list to make soon!
you really can’t go wrong with any cheesy potato situation in my opinion! yum!
Yummo! 1 question, though: do I add the butter with the milk? I see butter listed in the ingredients, but not mentioned in the directions. Thanks!
Just edited. Thanks Cheryl!
