Loved the carmalized onions and garlic. Great flavor for a different spin on your potatoes. Wonderful with meatloaf.

reminds me a lot of the stuffing i make for thanksgiving...which doesnt have cheese and has toasted bread in it. i liked it.....good way to spruce up my leftover mashed potatoes (yup, i cheated). and as for the garlic, i used minced garlic and put it in the pan at the end of cooking the onions and processed it all together :)

Great Recipe, I rosat several garlic bulbs at once and store the extra in in fridge for other uses. I also use evaporated milk to make the potatoes extra creamy.

These are to die for. They will be on my T-giving table this year. As for the wasting of electricity, you can even roast the garlic on the grill. I live in AZ and our electricity is VERY steep. One has to learn to multi-task to save valuable money on everything these days.

These were super yummy and as for using the electricity to just roast 1 garlic bulb; I roasted some vegetables at the same time. You can also use a convection or toaster oven. I love the smell of the roasting garlic.

To lizebrown, You can roast the garlic ahead of time with something else you're baking or plan a meat that is put in the oven to eat with the potatoes. It's always a good thing to have roasted garlic around-it's wonderful with alot of things.

Yummy! I might vary it next time with some red onions and adding green onions to serve. I love the sweetness of roasted garlic, it adds a whole depth of flavour you miss with other ways of using garlic.

In reply to the comment about wasting electricity to roast a bulb of garlic - this is an ideal recipe to serve with a roast. You'll be using the oven anyway to roast a turkey or a different beastie - so adding a dish to the bottom of the oven with garlic in it doesn't add to the electricity bill in any way! You might need to add a little to the cooking time but it will be perfect.

Thank you for a lovely recipe :)

Why would I waste 30 -35 minutes of electricity to roast 1 garlic bulb. Electricity is too expensive where I live.
