  1. These are THE best!! I used 2c cream, and left the skins on. I also used a ricer before adding the liquid. I would, however, use more garlic. I had 14 cloves, probably use 20 next time. I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!
     
  2. These have to be one of the creamiest, tastiest mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. I used russets. The texture is velvety smooth and creamy and the garlic flavor makes it even more wonderful. Thanx for sharing this; it's definitely a repeater!
     
  3. I used red potatoes and halved the recipe because we are only 2. I found there still was way too much cream mixture, I didn't add all of it in. I used my immersion blender but I think next time I would just use my hand masher, we just found them too whipped. But the flavor was absolutely delicious. I love garlic mashed and this was really great. Thanks for the recipe Karen
     
  4. Very very good potatoes. Very creamy with an intense garlic flavor. Used half and half and cut back on the amount of liquid. Added just enough until they were the consistency I like. Thanks very much for sharing your recipe.
     
  5. Excellent. I used all Fat Free 1/2 & 1/2 with the butter and garlic. Also used yukon gold potatoes. Then just mashed all ingredients together. Heating the milk, butter and garlic together is a great technique that infused the flavors together perfectly.

My name is Karen. I love to cook. I collect cookbooks, my favorite being ones you can get from churches or schools that have peoples personal favorites in them. Whenever I visit out of state I try to find 1-2 of these kinds of cookbooks. My hobbies are painting, cross stitch, scrapbooking and spending time with my 3 children. Megan 21 years old, Jeremy 16 Years old, and Clayton 8 years old. People love my pizza Swirls. I love all foods. I love to try complicated recipes for fun and I make alot of my own breads. My kids love to help me cook I think its a great time to get to communicate with our kids especially when life can get so crazy with school and such, this is a great habit we have gotten into, cooking and chatting LOL. We now have a smoothie night where we make an assortment of smoothies as a dessert, and on occasion we have had smoothies for dinner but that is a rare occasion. Its kids choice and they have fun on recipezaar because I have dedicated a cookbook just to smoothies. My daughter is getting creative in her smoothie endeavors and coming up with some incredible ideas! In Jan 09 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and have just began the treatments to get myself back up to speed. *UPDATE* November 2009 I have finished my radiation and chemotherapy and am on the mend. Chemo caused nerve damage in my leg so I am unable to walk without a cane and a brace but otherwise doing great!!!!!!!! <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=2">Cooking Q & A Forum Host</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=27">Desserts Forum Host</a></li> In september of 2009, The Pink ribbon tour came through Wickenburg.
