Here it is…my favorite recipe for garlic mashed potatoes. I have tested and tweaked this recipe many, many times. And this is the best. I love garlic mashed potatoes. I serve them with so many different meals, pot roast, roasted chicken and turkey, meatloaf, my favorite meatballs au poivre, etc. They are so creamy and delicious. Simply put, they just make me happy.
My Recipe for Garlic mashed potatoes is a hit! Every. Single. Time.
I use regular white Idaho potatoes for this recipe, but feel free to use yukon gold as well. Those are delicious too. Both will yield super delicious, super creamy mashed potatoes. They go great with meatloaf, meatballs, or whatever you want to serve them with. If garlic isn’t your thing, no worries my friend. Just omit the garlic from the recipe. But more importantly, why isn’t garlic your thang? C’mon, really? Its ok…no judgement here…I am the girl that hates cucumbers and goat cheese. I so badly want to love goat cheese. It always looks so delicious and everyone I know raves about it. And every single time I try it, I remember…I hate goat cheese. Same goes for cucumbers. People look at me like I am crazy when I tell them that I don’t like cucumbers. Its my tragic flaw, I guess (insert eye roll).
