I've been wanting to try this dish for a long time, and have finally gotten around to it. What was I waiting for????? This is absolutely fantastic!!!!!! I had some sour cream that I used in place of the milk, and it worked out very well. I'll be making this more often. Thanks so much for a terrific recipe.

    This was good, but my tastebuds weren't thrilled (but with mashed potatoes and cabbage, I wasn't really expecting them to be thrilled--so mission accomplished). I DO really appreciate being able to turn a starchy food into something that brings a little more to the party than just carbohydrates. It rounded out a dinner with Irish Stew and soda bread for St. Paddy's.

    Excellent dish!!! Made for St Patricks day dinner (along with Derf's Corned beef #14537). A wonderful change from mashed potatoes and definitely a keeper!!

    I saw the picture of this recipe that Fairy Nuff posted, and had to try it with our corned beef. I'm so glad I did. We loved the recipe. It's the perfect side dish for corned beef, but I plan to make it with other dishes, too. We loved the green onions and the creamy texture. Thanks for posting.
