Notes
You certainly don't have to load the mashed potatoes but it def adds extra flavor.
Looks good haven’t tried it yet. I’m going to.
Oh my goodness
This was so good!!! one of my favorite meals I’ve ever made for myself.
Awesome recipe, thank you
can this be done with hashbrowns instead of baking potatoes?
Never tried it but don’t see why not. Tots might work better.
Nice work ! Love the attention to detail and all the amazing and quick recipes!
Nice work! Love the attention to detail. Amazing recipes mixed with easy to prepare ideas. Great job!
Thanks!
Use frozen peas and carrots. Much better texture than canned. I like the idea of loaded mashed potatoes for the top. I’m going to give this a try.
When you say microwave potatoes, do you mean using instant potatoes? And if so, how many packets makes 2 lbs of it?
Thank you!
No, I use the prepackaged Bob Evans or Sam’s Club brand. They just require heating in microwave and are surprisingly really good in my opinion.
Excellent recipe. Great for variables to your taste. Keep up the good work!
