Oh my goodness-SO SO GOOD! I used peeled red potatoes, heavy cream and panko because it was what I had on hand. This just came out of the oven and it looked so tasty I had to try it. It was fantastic. Potatoes are creamy and the pancetta adds a satisfying salty crunch. I will definitely put this on the menu for Thanksgiving. Thanks Giada!

Was looking for a recipe to use up some pancetta and this seemed perfect. It was fantastic! I would make it again in a heartbeat!!! Delicious!

Best mashed potatoes EVER! I love Giada! Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. Even the people at the Italian store were asking me what I was making and when I mentioned you, their faces lit up and they asked for a copy of the recipe. :D

I was the hit of the Holiday meal! I was bringing these and didn't tell anyone that there was all the cheese and pancetta (family are sort of purists and they started eating it and the compliments started POURING in!
First dish to be empty and was told I have to bring this every year.

No changes are necessary!!

I made this as part of a dinner for my mother's birthday. Everyone really loved it, even my two nieces who are extremely picky eaters. They did ask what the red stuff was in it, but when informed it was bacon they were won over. I used bacon instead of pancetta, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

Just as Giada described these potatoes are so light and fluffy. My family loved this recipe and it will become apart of our Christmas Dinner repertoire. The pancetta really makes this dish lovely and again it is so light. No where near as dense as typical mashed potatoes.

I have made this dish twice now, most recently with our Christmas dinner and everyone loves it.....the crusty cheese top with the smooth creamy filling is too good....It is also great to prepare ahead of time...I made the dish the night before and just baked it the next day....I like to add a couple tbs of chopped chives as well.....and what yummy left overs for breakfast....

You have GOT to give this recipe a try if you are sick of plain, old, boring mashed potatoes. Here are some things I'd recommend.....for the bread crumbs I used regular Wheat Thins and they held up better and gave it a small sweet taste. Which was a nice suprise. I used ssssoooo much more Milk than the recipe says. I didnt keep track of how much but enough to get the consitancy right. You could probably use Half and Half if you'd rather use that as well. This recipe became a fast family favorite. It's pretty much replaced our old mashed potatoes.

I try to avoid putting a whole stick of butter into anything I cook, plus I don't cook with whole milk. So, my changes may have caused this recipe to suffer. I subbed 2% milk and only used 1/2 stick butter. It turned out average the way I made it. Not a "wow" dish, but not bad either. It was average in my book.
