This was a great side dish. I only used half the sour cream though as it's all I had but I added some heavy cream to make up for it. I also used minced garlic that I sauteed in a little melted butter since I didn't have whole cloves on hand. Thanks for the great dish.

This recipe had a good start and great ingredients, but I had to play around with it a bit. Mashed potatoes should be really rich and creamy--this is not the place to skimp on the flavor and mouth feel that fat provides! I boiled the potatoes in broth rather than adding it later, and doubled the garlic. I used no broth in the potatoes once they were cooked, and used full fat sour cream and butter. To die for...

These were the best mashed potatoes I have ever had!! My boyfriend is the garlic mashed potatoes expert and he LOVED them as well. I did make one change to the recipe though, couldn't find regular chives, so I had to use chinese yellow chives... still awesome!!!

Gritty & grainy. And, they were runny. I'll stick to standard mashed potatoes with butter.

Delicious! Made this as a side for Christmas dinner and it was a hit! I even used dried chives..mixed it in and let it sit for about 30 minutes or so while guests were still arriving. I would definitely add more garlic next time as it was not garlicky enough for me and some other garlic lovers.

I did not like these at all, no one did. They came out grainy, not creamy. Will stick with milk from now on. To save, I added some milk and cheese and baked for 20 minutes.

Followed directions exactly and did not add salt to season b/c I was leery it would be salty with the broth. It was too salty for our tastes and lacked any other flavor.

These were delicious served with Grilled Chicken with Herbs (also on this site) and roasted carrots. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and light sour cream. I used a ricer like one of the other reviewers to mash the potatoes - and it does make a great potato consistency. After reading the reviews, I cut back the broth and sour cream by 2 tbsp each.

These potatoes were a nice change up from the usual mashed potatoes, and they weren't much harder to make. We served them with a nice steak and they complimented it very well. Thanks for the recipe!

Very tasty and creamy. I added about a cup of sour cream and added the stock until the consistency I was looking for. These were the tastiest potatoes I have ever made! (I also used a potato ricer... highly recommend!) Thanks for a tasty recipe for my first Thanksgiving with my husband!

These were more like soup than they were potatoes. Excellent flavor, but cut back liquides if you want fluffy rather than creamy.

These are the best garlic mashed potatoes I've ever made! Just the right amount of garlic and very easy. I did use regular sour cream as it was for special family members, but I would guess that the reduced or fat free sour cream would be just about the same. These are a real keeper!

Really good Leslie. Never used broth in my potatoes before and I must say that it gave them a very nice flavor. I prefer to use low fat sour cream as the caloies aren't all that much higher than fat free and the taste is so much better. I wasn't concerned with cooking healthy tonight so I also used butter. Loved the chives in this dish. Thank you!
