Yum! I took someone's advice and boiled the cloves whole with the potatoes. It made them nice and soft so that I could just beat everything with the electric mixer at the same time. I also added a little bit of garlic salt as I was mixing and I omitted the sesame seeds.

These were awesome! I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never made homemade mashed potatoes before, but my husband was very impressed with my first attempt. The only change I made was to add a little sour cream to make them a little creamier. I also left the skins on. A definite keeper!

Yeah, these are pretty much awesome. I read the other reviews and added a few of their suggestions. I boiled the potatoes in low sodium chicken broth, used skim milk, and used 1/4 cup sour cream and 2 Tbsp. of Butter Buds. in place of the butter (kinda trying to make them a little "healthier", but not sacrifice too much flavor!) and doubled the amount of garlic. They're freaking delicious!

Yum! I really liked this, had this with turkey sausage, which had a little kick to it. So easy to make, too!

I made these for dinner last night. My 6 year old son loves smashed potatoes, and I was worried about what he would think about garlic being added to them. He LOVED them. We all did. Being new to the garlic I only added 1/2 the amount and added a scoop of sour cream too. They were very good. We'll be making these again.

These were ok. Not great, but not bad either. I did not use the sesame seeds as I didn't have any on hand. I do love that this recipe is made from stuff I always have on hand. Will probably make again, but with more garlic. They are worth a try.

Left out the sesame seeds. Used more butter and replaced the milk with heavy whipping cream. Also increased the amount of minced garlic (used jarred garlic).

Great Recipe! I actually added a bit os sour cream and cut down on the milk. I also left the seeds out just because I didn't have any on hand. Still a great recipe! I am the mashed potato queen and the garlis was a perfect amount. 2 cloves was just right.. I love garlic- but this added just a hint and was not too strong.

These were a little too bland for me. Next time I'll use more pepper and a bit more butter. Sour cream in place of milk sounds like it would be a good idea, but I haven't tried that.

These were very good. I added an extra garlic clove; I thought it was just right, but my husband thought that was too much. I used my hand potato masher; I like that consistency better.

They taste delicious. Unfortunately, even though I followed the directions and let the potatoes cook for 25 minutes, they were still undercooked. So I might throw this batch out. Next time I'll cook the potatoes longer. If it weren't for that, I'd give this recipe 5 stars. Enough rambling. Great-tasting potatoes; make it healthier by eating with salmon and vegetables.
