I made these tonight to go with bratty_1's OUR FAVORITE ITALIAN BEEF #20266. These potatoes were perfect. Creamy and rich in flavor. Thanks for posting.

We loved it! There are only 2 of us (most of the time:) )so I cut the recipe amounts in half. I served it with a zesty oven fried chicken, green salad and corn on the cob! My hubby is Zaar's best fan! Thanks for posting. It beats the reg. mashed pot. I usually fix and just add garlic powder. I will not fix it that way again...this recipe is tooooo good!

We loved these wonderfully flavored mashed potatoes! The fresh minced garlic added a bit of a zip. I used 1/2 cup half&half instead of the cream since that is what I had on hand. I used full fat sour cream as well and beat the potatoes with an electric mixer until nice and fluffy. Yum! I will make this recipe again.
