These were delicious, thanks Ree
I think is very good my family loved ,i dont care what the other people saids only i know she cook deliciuse i love her show on food network I hope stay for ever ,god bless her and his family .
Our kids love them too.
Excellent! I cut the recipe in half, used red potatoes I used half the amount of cream, roasted, pressed garlic mixed into the butter instead of powder, no extra salt beyond the cajun seasoning. Very, very yummy. Goes great with Cajun drumsticks, green bean casserole and buttermilk biscuits.
Delicious change of pace! My family loved it!
Not really crazy about this dish. It was creamy and spicy and pleasant tasting but it was also full of salt. I couldn’t get that thought out of my head. And I didn’t even use the whole amount called for. I must add that I love salt but this was a bit overwhelming. If I’m going to consume all that butter and cream and cheese skimping a bit on the salt seemed the better route to take.
Yummy mashed potatoes! I want these for my birthday every year! Smooth, creamy & flavored nicely with the cajun seasonings & seasoned salt addition. I’ll definitely be making these more than once a year!
Made the cajun potatoes tonight,they were great, they will now be are special event potatoes. Too many yummy things in them to have ever night.
