I am in love with these potatoes!! I was not at all sure how I would like the feta and cream cheese in them, but it worked perfectly. I made these even lower in fat by halving the feta and using nonfat milk and cream cheese. I also halved the salt and broiled these for 5 minutes at the end to brown them up. I definitely recommend using fresh oregano, it imparted a great flavor. These are worth the extra work!

I really liked these! I made 1/2 a batch for 4 of us and they were very easy. The only thing I changed was the cream cheese because I only had the light garlic and herb kind. It was very tasty. I tagged this recipe for the "I REDommend Game".

Made for dinner when I was home alone. I cooked my potato in the microwave. If I had planned ahead a bit more and was cooking for more than just me I would have done them in the oven and maybe just served with some salad. I subbed a slice of ham for the bacon since that's what I had. It was also a good way to use up a little bit of feta cheese too; creamy and tasty!

I used small red potatoes and a red pepper cream cheese, soy milk and lots of fresh oregano. So good. Thanks!

While putting these potatoes together, I was thinking that it was quite a bit of extra work than whipping up some mashed potatoes. BUT - when I got to eat one, it was clear in my head that the extra work was well worth it - the flavours are great! Also good for making in advance.

Wow, Teresa, what a great side dish! It was so good, I had to go back and check the recipe to make sure it really was weight watchers. I used italian seasoning in place of the oregano. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.
