Creamy Mashed Potatoes
"These potatoes are a hit everytime I make them. I received this recipe from my grandmother who always liked to experiment with ingredients, and these potatoes became a winner.

I have made my mashed potatoes like this for years. It is a lot creamer than regular mashed potatoes. The only difference is I brown the garlic in the butter before adding it to the mixture to give it more of a garlic taste. Give these a try!! -
My husband, a mashed potato lover, raved over these potatoes! He loved the combination of cream cheese and sour cream, said it was just right. He was surprised when I told him there was some garlic in it! Said he couldn't taste it. Thanks for a great recipe! -

The creamiest mashed potatoes ever!I halved the recipe; and used the leftovers the next day in #51039 Pierogi Caserole, which I also halved. Good potatoes! -
I made these tonight for my DH because I can never seem to make mashed potatoes creamy enough for him. He (and I) both loved them. He said "These are the way mashed potatoes are supposed to be." I'll definitely make them this way from now on! Oh, I didn't bake mine, just whipped it up in the mixer.

DH loved these! I took half of the mashed potatoes and refrigerated them before baking to use the following day and it worked great!

My name is Stephanie Jones, my husband Chris and I are both police officers who unfortunetly work different shifts, which can cause problems when it comes to cooking dinner. I love to cook new things, especially if they are easy and taste great warmed up. My favorite thing is baking desserts, I am usually the dessert person for the family picnics. I have two spoiled brats at home, one is my German Shephard, a mommys girl, and two is my husband. They both love to eat, and thank goodness they aren't picky eaters or I would be in trouble. I want to thank Chef Tara Kirsch for introducing me to Recipzaar, who would have thought 23years ago we would be trading recipes. I still remember when she couldn't even boil water (ha ha).
