These creamy garlic mashed potatoes are so good, you can serve them plain—no butter or gravy is needed. This is one of our favorite red potato recipes. —Valerie Mitchell, Olathe, Kansas

These potatoes were creamy and delicious, I added more garlic just because we are garlic lovers, these will definitely be going in our tater rotation!

Yes, this is the way we love our taters, too. Only I roast the garlic before instead of boiling it with the potatoes. The flavor is so good!

Made these the day before I was serving them. Excellent and so simple. Only changes I made was subbed 1/2

Boiling the garlic cloves with the potatoes doesn't give these potatoes much of a garlic flavor. Instead, I chop them then saute them in some butter while the potatoes are cooking, until they are very soft, then mash them with the cooked potatoes and other ingredients. I also use 1/4 cup half & half and 1/4 cup skim milk. Makes them even creamier.

I like the addition of parmesan cheese. I choose to add minced garlic after the potatoes were cooked and drained.

Be very careful to not use a food processor to mix these. I made mistake and ended up with wallpaper paste. Otherwise, easy to make.

Didn't have Parmesan cheese, so I substituted it with hummus. My dad hates hummus. He usually hogs all of the food, so I thought that the addition would deter him, although I didn't tell him. It didn't. I still got the satisfaction of making him consume something that he so hated. 5 stars.

This is my favorite mashed potato recipe, and I use it a lot for potluck when I know people are going to want mashed potatoes. I made this for Thanksgiving a few years ago, and they were gone before my mom's. I also use them for shepherd's pie. Excellent mashed potatoes.

Very good and creamy.  I am making this to go with our Christmas Prime Rib.  I'll be adding even more garlic though.

These were wonderful!  Just like at a restaurant.  I used shredded Parmesan cheese and added a bit of cream and garlic powder too.  This will be my new staple for garlic mashed potatoes!  Served these with baked salmon, and steamed carrots and beans.

These were really good mashed potatoes. They are easy to make and still have good flavor. We made them with roast.

Added more garlic but delicious otherewise!

Great recipe. If you are a garlic-lover, an extra clove or two couldn't hurt! I substituted fat-free half-and-half for milk for a little extra creaminess. Yum!!

My daughter and I made these for Thanksgiving dinner.  Everyone loved them.  We doubled the recipe because we were serving a crowd and wanted leftovers.  We added more than double garlic to the water when boiling the potatoes, then removed some before we mashed them - didn't want the garlic flavor to overpower.  They tasted great, had an appealing look, and went well with gravy.

This is the only way I do it too.  Much less mess than our moms ever had.  I don't peel and I leave out parmesan to lower sodium content but we love them.

Nice, easy recipe, but I did not get much of a garlic or Parmesan. In fact, next time I would cut the Parmesan all together. I peeled half of the potatoes, left half with their red skins.

I love your recipe I use than all the time

I am surprised at the other reviews.  I didn't think this was anything special.  I made the recipe exactly as stated; found the garlic too overpowering (which was fine for me because I like garlic, but would reduce the amount if serving to guests).  I also needed to add more salt, and also pepper.  I may make this again, but I will continue my quest to find a really good red-skin mashed potato recipe.  My go-to mashed potatoes are way better than this, but made with bakers.  Looking for a change of pace.

I made these as written, and they were good. The aroma of the garlic was wonderful, but the garlic flavor was lacking. That can easily be solved with more garlic and some pepper. I'd also add a little sour cream next time.

this is a family favorite,  made it many times, I added one clove of garlic to each potato used,  and added 1/2& 1/2 in place of the milk. wonderful recipe! nice & creamy and delish!
