directions

  • Quarter the potatoes (we leave the skin on) and put into a large pot of salted water.
  • Add the 8 cloves of peeled garlic.
  • Boil until tender.
  • Drain and add the sour cream, butter and cream cheese to the pot and mash with a potato masher, for best texture do not use a mixer.
  • Spread mixture into an oven proof casserole dish (about 9X13)and garnish as desired.
  • Bake uncovered in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes or until the top has browned to your satisfaction.
  • For faster results, skip baking and place under broiler for a few minutes.

  1. This was good, but dare I say, a bit too rich for my taste (and for most of my guests). It also had quite a bit of separated oil/butter upon re-heating, so I think I'll keep looking (if only for the sake of my arteries).
     
  2. Made it for an office potluck, everyone loved this recipe, I thought that it was a bit too much to add in 8oz of the sour cream and cream cheese but it worked out. I also sauteed more garlic and put it in for better "garlic-y" flavor. The recipe as it stands didn't have enough in my opinion. Asked to make it again for another potluck!
     
  3. To DIE for... I do not like mashed potatoes but my family loves them. I try to find a happy medium so that I can enjoy my meal as much as they do. This recipe does it. From a self professed mashed potato hater these are wonderful. I try to cook heart healthy in the house as my hubbies has high cholesterol. I substituted fat free plain yogurt for the sour cream and low fat cream cheese for the regularly cream cheese. I still used the butter as I prefer the taste but cut it to 1/4 cup. these potatoes were creamy and delicious. I have never not whipped my potatoes with a mixer. This recipe does NOT need to be whipped. They mashed beautifully. I barely got the dish to the table before the family started digging in. thanks for a marvelous recipe.
     
  4. Boiling the garlic causes all the flavor to leave. You should roast the garlic until soft and then mash with the potatoes.
     
  5. Tasty mashed potatoes but they don't taste like garlic at all. I boiled the potatoes with about 8-10 cloves of garlic. Then, I sauteed 8 or 9 more cloves of crushed garlic and put it in the mash, and still not really any taste of garlic. How would one make these taste like garlic mashed potatoes?
