I love potatoes..I need to live in Idaho where they grow them..LOL. This potato dish will be on my Christmas dinner table...so yummy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This super yummy recipe is like eating a mashed potato casserole! Savory, creamy, and very filling, I've been known to top it off with a pat of butter too. If you're going to go the comfort food route, go all the way!

    Just thought of something..I might add a little butter to this before baking..it didn't call for it..but how can you have mashed potatoes without BUTTER?!! I think I'm related to Paula Deen..LOL!
