These were delicious! We loved the taste of the roasted garlic in the potatoes. I did as another reviewer suggested and added fresh chopped rosemary to the potatoes in order to bring out the rosemary flavor. Definitely a keeper. -
yummy! i didn't have time to roast garlic so i threw some garlic cloves into a hot pan with some olive oil 'till it bowned up some then threw it in with the potatoes. can't wait to try it again with the roasted garlic. -
These were amazing!! I have found a new favorite mashed potatoes thanks -
The roasted garlic was divine in the potatoes!! I am wondering about the boiling of the rosemary... I really did not notice a discernible rosemary taste. Next time, and there WILL be a next time, I am going to add fresh chopped rosemary to the the potatoes instead of just putting it in the water. These were FABULOUS!!!!

Good spuds thanks rita, and i imagine they would be even better if I had the time to roast the garlic-I'll try that next time;-) Even so, the garlic still came through, and the rosemary was a nice addition. I used a good fresh grated parmesan and that was excellent in them too.
