Turned out beautiful! I didn't measure the milk and added it spoonful by spoonful instead. I used seasoning and sour cream to add a little something. I also didn't add heavy cream, but just added a little milk, as the potatoes were creamy enough without it.

This is how I make mine with a few exceptions:  I don't warm my milk, I just pour it straight into the pot, I put about 2tbs of butter in whole, s/p and my other ingredient is Duke's Mayo.  That's how I grew up making taters.  Since I met my BF (several yrs ago), he introduced me to spices and now i put in the pot as they are cooking:  salt and several different kinds of garlic.  They turn out so good, my BF's mom is always raving on my taters.

I like this recipe. I added sour cream and garlic for a little extra flavor. The recipe is very simple. It is an easy recipe to make many different variations of. Overall I will be making again in many different ways.

This was my first time making mashed potatoes and we all enjoyed these. I followed the recipe as written.
