I followed the recipe exactly and these are the best garlic mashed potatoes I've ever tasted.

I made these as written, and they were good. The aroma of the garlic was wonderful, but the garlic flavor was lacking. That can easily be solved with more garlic and some pepper. I'd also add a little sour cream next time.

These were wonderful! Just like at a restaurant. I used shredded Parmesan cheese and added a bit of cream and garlic powder too. This will be my new staple for garlic mashed potatoes! Served these with baked salmon, and steamed carrots and beans.

I would definitely make these again. My family loved them and they are easy to make! I served them with a roast.

These are excellent mashed potatoes! I make them often and I always add extra garlic. You can never have too much garlic!
