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.

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

These were good. Next time I will probably peel the potatoes because our little kids did not like the skins in there. I made these with BBQ Round Steak.

Great recipe. If you are a garlic-lover, an extra clove or two couldn't hurt! I substituted fat-free half-and-half for milk for a little extra creaminess. Yum!!

These are awesome. My husband loves potatoes in pretty much any way, shape or form, but he particularly loves red potatoes. This has become his favorite red potato recipe.
