  1. Super recipe! I made it exactly as directed, using lowfat sour cream, but subbing dried basil for fresh (hey, it's winter here in New Hampshire). I probably put in a bit more sour cream, and it was really, really, really delicious. My DH, who's "famous" for his mashed potatoes, said that mine were better than his! This is a wonderful way to get a mashed potato fix without totally messing up a diet. This is probably how we'll make mashed potatoes from now on - using a bit more sour cream than the recipe called for, but other than that, as is!
     
  2. Easy to make and VERY tasty recipe.
     
  3. YUM YUM YUM! I've been craving garlicky potatoes for a while now, but I'm not big on butter and cream. This MORE than satisfied the tastebuds here! I used red potatoes and fat free sour cream. Didn't even need the cheese and since I was serving it with basil chicken, I opted for the basil sprig. Wish I had made twice the recipe, because something tells me these would be delicious as leftovers too! Oh, and I used the make ahead option and did have to add a bit of fat free chicken broth to the end result, not that it was a problem. Thanks so very much! This is going in my keep file for sure!
     
  4. I love mashed potatoes and this is a great way to enjoy them without the gravy! Superb flavor and texture! I did add a little more milk for creaminess.

I am a working mom of a beautiful little girl Keira Lynn. Watching her grow has been such a joy! My husband and I were married in May of 2006 on the beautiful island of Kauai. Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes. <a href="http://www.snugglepie.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.snugglepie.com/ezb/718035.png"></a>
