Still instant potatoes!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Could not wait to try. No matter how many different cheeses, sour cream, and spices you add, this still tastes like boxed... mashed potatoes. Discarded.Read more

A real winner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe several times and it is always a hit. So easy and good for leftovers, if there are any, Make mostly... for holiday gatherings but it's good anytime. Sometimes it's hard to find the boxed packages with two envelopes for the butter and herb mxix as they have started packing in individual envelopes. New packaging has also become a problem when trying to find 10oz packages of frozen broccoli and spinach for other recipes. Sometimes you have to buy larger packages such as 16oz which is a pain when you only want 10oz. Anyway, Paula, we love you and Michael, even though you use too much sugar in some of your recipes.Read more

It's OK to use the frozen shredded hashbrowns you use for cooking in oil...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Boil your water and plop the frozen hash browns in? just be sure to cook for the five minutes. They should not be completely... cooked. My butter & herb box mix had two pouches for two servings. I had opened both but caught it before I added both pouches. Even with that, my mix was more than a 2 quart casserole could hold so I used a 9 x 13 pan. This actually turned out great because it gave more surface to brown. Waiting to add the cooked hash browns to the mix last, I combined everything stirring well - adding the boiling water. This kept the hash browns from breaking up too much and made it fluffier when the casserole was dished out. As I made this a few hours ahead, then baked it closer to the time to be served - it had a chance to meld the flavors and left everyone asking for MORE!Read more

The BEST of the BEST!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am from Idaho and now live in Connecticut. I have honestly eaten potatoes every way imaginable...including in donuts. ... However...this recipie is honestly the best version of a potato recipie that I have ever had the opportunity to eat! I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner...then some more for dessert! They are wonderful! I followed the instructions exactly...and reserved 2 cups of the water that I boiled the hash browns in to add to the mixture. It couldn't have turned out more perfectly! I've never gone wrong trying out Paula's recipies but this one was truly a treasure! Read more
