This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I just added some bacon, cheese, and eggs, and baked it. It was a quick and easy meal that my family loved.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this recipe with cauliflower instead of potatoes. It was amazing! The cauliflower was roasted to perfection, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the bacon. It was still delicious! The potatoes were fluffy and crispy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I love that I can use any kind of cheese I have on hand. My favorite is to use a sharp cheddar cheese.

I'm not usually a fan of bacon, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The bacon added a nice flavor to the potatoes, and the cheese was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out perfectly. The potatoes were fluffy and crispy on the outside, and the bacon and cheese were melted and gooey on the inside. My family loved it!

This recipe was an absolute hit at my dinner party! The bacon added a delicious smokiness to the potatoes, and the cheese was the perfect gooey addition. I will definitely be making this again.
