Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe


Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Great side to just about any meal. And really good served under chicken & noodles. Grating the garlic is nice for people who aren't big garlic lovers, that way there's no little bits of garlic to bite into.

This is about the only way I make mashed potatoes anymore - heavy on the garlic and sour cream...delicious...great post, AM!!


I agree with Krum on this one... The best way to make hum drum potates have that wow factor....


I do these too, but I also add some parmesan cheese...not too much, but just enough to add a little something extra!!! Could eat them as a meal by themselves!!!!


Yeh Garlic, Go garlic!!! Awesome, creamy & yummy!
