great taste and perfect texture--just make sure to cut the gouda up small enough or it won't melt completely




Great Foundation Recipe

This turns out very good by itself or you can add your own twist like bacon, peas, or green onion. Trust me you'll like it.

I tried these for the first time this year. As I make Thanksgiving for my entire family, I look for new recipes that are flavorful but also easy to multi-task around. This is great. Everyone loved them. Also, if (and that's a BIG if) you have any left, they reheat really well.

These mashed potatoes were great, a special way to dress up an everday favorite! (They thicken really fast so be ready to eat as soon as they're done.)

A definate must! Found your Smoked Gouda Mashed potatoes easy to make, delicious and even better the second day when re-heated. Working at a specialty cookware store, we tend to be VERY critical of recipes, but my entire store bookgroup loved this recipe. Thank you! KG




Best Mashed Potatoes EVER

We decided to add these to our Thanksgiving menu this year, after practically drooling on ourselves while watching Emeril whip them up. Best. Mashed. Potatoes. Ever. I'm not over-stating, or exaggerating. The match of the smoky cheese mixed with the creamy dairy and mashed potatoes was heavenly. The rest of the turkey dinner did its best, living in the shadow of these unbelievably delicious potatoes.




Home style Mashed

These were so rich and creamy. So much better than the ones made with Chicken Broth!! I personally left out the Gouda this time but plan to use the next time. LynnB, Rocky Mount, NC

These potatoes were fabulous. Of course, we couldn't let that extra half-pound of cheese go back into the frig, so we put it in (what was left after "tasting", anyway)!




Not ordinary

When you are bored with mashed patatoes try this. They are great! You can replace the gouda with smoked mozarella for a different twist!




yummy!

I made these last year for x-mas and everyone wants them again for thanksgiving. I made them once for my father and used milk instead of heavy cream. Not the same, but still good. I will use heavy cream for Thanksgiving

You "gouda" fix these

User: DONALD from baxter, MN    User Rating:
I tried these for the first time after seeing Emeril prepare these on his show. They are the best mashed potatoes, period. The smokey flavor of the gouda comes through just perfect, not too much though. I have fixed these for guests numerous times and they always rave about them. Highly recommended!




I tweeked this one.......

User: Anonymous    User Rating:
Usually I never "tweek" Emerils recipes, but I couldn't resist on this one. Instead of just Idaho potatoes, I used half Yukon Golds & half Red Bliss potatoes. For the cheese, I used half smoked Gouda & half Muenster (because I love it). I also used a 1/2 pinch of black pepper along with white. Instead of 3/4 cup of heavy cream, I used 1/2 heavy cream & 1/4 whole milk (give or take a measure or so. I went with consistency).




The "Goodest" Gouda Mashed Potato

We had a dinner party at our home last year and the Gouda Mashed Potato was a hit! I even shared some left over to a co worker, and she kept bugging me for the recipe to this day. I told her it was Emeril's recipe and got it from the food channel website. This was very easy to make, but with awesome results!!! Thanks Emeril!

My family loves these mashed potatoes. I watched Emeril make them on his show one day and I decided to substitute them for mine during Thanksgiving dinner, bold move. It was a hit. It's easy to make and they are delicious. HIGHLY recommend them.

Needs Garlic or some other flavor enhancement

This needs garlic to kick up the flavor. And I used Yukon Gold potatoes that may have been too glutenous.
