I've served this at many dinner parties (each with different folks) and it always brings raves reviews. Really good flavor and something different from mashed potatoes. Easy to make and I always make it a day ahead and then reheat in the micro, although it takes longer than the 5 min. the recipe states. Stir through and be sure it's hot before serving.
