Best. Mashed Potatoes. Ever. But then, considering cream cheese and fresh garlic are involved, it's really an unfair competition.

Pretty gooooood!!! I was a little sketchy about the cream cheese, but it's actually an amazing idea! Not sure if it was just the potatoes I used, but they came out a little thick so I added a bit of 2% milk.

I did like these but I added about 1/4 cup milk. After that these were great.

These were good...not a lot of garlic flavor, but that's okay. One thing I guess I missed in the recipe but I made this for Thanksgiving dinner, and I wasn't having all that many people, but even though I followed this exactly...this recipe served an army! My goodness, we were up to our ears in mashed potatoes! I still have a tray in the freezer. Seven baking potatoes? They must sell larger baking potatoes in my area then...

I added a splash of milk to the mashed potatoes to make them a little thinner. They were delicious.

This was an interesting recipe. It came out pretty good but I don't think I would make it again. Very thick and stiff. Maybe adding milk would help.

very easy and the garlic gives the house a nice aroma without being to strong in the potatoes. dont need to add anything to this recipe

Not so overflavored with garlic that they don't taste good with gravy. Really good with and without gravy.

These potatoes were EXCELLENT. I just made them for Thanksgiving dinner. I did add some extra garlic and a little pepper and garlic powder just because we all love garlc in our family. Highly recommend these!
