Very rich flavor, great taste. I used 2 T butter only, and I sprinkled the top with the cheese at the beginning of baking, so the cheese not only melted, but got a nice crispy texture and a light brown color.

I'm not sure what makes these so good but they just are! I reduced the butter by a tablespoon. The texture is super delicate. The only thing that I didn't like is you have to kind of plan ahead to make them. My hubby flipped for them so I'll be making them again.

This is the best potato recipe that I have made in a long time. I don't know what makes it so special but I would serve this to company anytime. I made 1/3 the recipe for 4 of us and followed the recipe except less time in the oven.

I love this recipe. It's so buttery and cheesy. I use yukon golds for even more buttery goodness. I didn't think they lacked flavor at all. My cousins request these all the time.
