I made this recipe for this year's Thanksgiving and not only was it a timesaver, but absolutely delicious and everyone raved about it. I think I gave this recipe to everyone I know. The only thing I did different was 2 days before Thanksgiving, I put everything in the crockpot and refrigerated untilTurkey Day and then turned the crockpot on low for 5 hours. Great recipe! So happy I found it. I'll use this from now on.

    These didn't go over as well as I had hoped. My Thanksgiving guests said the potatoes were good when they were covered with gravy. But potatoes should be good plain, too. I think there might be too much cream cheese for our tastes. Thanks, but we wouldn't make these again.

    A tried and true recipe. I had a pot roast in one crock pot and these potatoes in another. What a great recipe. I was able to feed my family and visiting in-laws after my daughters field hockey game. A real comfort food.

    I used this recipe for a large Thanksgiving dinner — I upped everything to handle 15 lbs of potatoes! They came out fabulous. From now on, I will always use the cream cheese and sour cream in mashed potatoes — I left the chives out. The re-heating took a lot longer because of the quantity but I "jump started" it by microwaving them in the large ceramic part of the crock pot then put the ceramic thing in the warmer and they were creamy and tasted like I just made them — a big hit with everyone
