We loved these. I skipped the first part because I buy the bulk minced garlic at Sam's. I do like chicken broth in my potatoes so I used way less milk & some chicken broth. I usually always use butter but the olive oil was a very nice change. I am feeding a large family so I used way more potatoes. Everyone really loved them!

This had a weird taste.

this was a good recipe...although not perfect. I would also cut down on the herbs, maybe to just the rosemary. Also i tried a rosemary garlic version of this where i roasted the garlic. I also boiled the potatoes with half the liquid consisting of water and half chicken broth and added garlic. Well ive tried many versions...you can always play with mashed potatoes. By far the best gravy i have ever had consisted of 2 cups of my chicken broth i boiled the potatoes in and the rest turkey stock and added chopped portobello mushrooms...it was to die for. I wouldnt use olive oil in mashed potatoes, use butter. You dont want that oily consistency.

This recipe makes the end product too hard to accomplish. Just peel the garlic and boil it with the potatoes. When the potatoes are done, drain them and place in mixing bowl. Add butter, milk, sour cream and whatever fresh herbs you have on hand ( rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, parsley, etc.) whip to desired consistancy.

This was ok.Dont think I would make again

Flavors work REALLY well together! Use more potatoes or less milk for creamier potatoes

Very good. Slightly long prep time due to having to bake the garlic so long but well worth it. I useded red potato's and it came out great!

Okay, so I don't know how to make mashed potatoes, I admit it. But, I followed the recipe exactly, and what I got was potato soup! It's clear that the recipe should say: add liquid ingredients GRADUALLY, until potatoes are fluffy. If I'd done that, I bet it would have come out correctly. BEWARE!

Wonderful! I had to user 7 medium sized russet potatoes instead of the three potatoes the recipe called for. It came out perfect with a wonderful garlic taste. My husband like them also too!

Careful with the rosemary!!

I liked these potatoes, but I made a few changes in them after reading some of the reviews. I did cut down on the herbs a bit and reduced some of the liquid so that they wouldn't be as runny. The result was good. They tasted very similar to what I would buy from a store brand boxed potatoes. I will definately make again.

Would not make this again. Potatoes were runny and bland. I've used much better garlic mashed potatoes recipes.

I thought it was kind of bland, so I added the broth I roasted the garlic head in and it turned out really good. The consistency of the potatoes was just right.

These potatoes were gone in a second. No leftovers to be had!

I would make this recipe again, but I think I would omit the thyme. Just too much for my taste. The roasted garlic gave it a very good flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

This was ok but I dont see how the originar recipe made 5 servings. I had 7 people to feed and I had way more than double the potatoes. And I trippled all the other ingredients except the garlic (I didn't want it over powered) but it just wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be. I might try it again but I will do it as the original recipe says and see how it goes.

Although good, I think the amount of milk added to the potatoes makes the dish too watery. Less is best!

I liked these mashed potatoes quite a bit -- however, if I make them again, I probably will cut down a bit on the herbs.
