This was pretty good, but I'm thinking perhaps a bit less bread crumbs for me next time and a little more cheese. It was just a bit too funky for me. Thanks though! :)

I think the measurements are all off. 1/2 cup of milk and butter are way to little for the amount of potatoes - ended up pretty dry and having to mix more in. also, just spreading breadcrumbs on top gives you just that, crumbs on top. think you need to saute em in some butter first so they can brown more and get crispy. all in all kinda just blah.

Great alternative to regular garlic mashed. For the bread crumbs, I melted margarine and mixed in regular bread crumbs and garlic powder. I find the garlic mashed potatoes in restaurants are often too garlic-y for me, so I like having the garlic taste in the bread crumbs instead of the actual potatoes. I mixed some of the shredded cheese in with the potatoes and also added a layer of shredded cheese in between the potatoes in the baking dish. (potatoes - cheese - potatoes - cheese - breadcrumbs)

Excellent recipe. I didn't have garlic seasoned bread crumbs so I just added some garlic powder to some store bought seasoned crumbs and it turned out perfect. Make sure you don't add too much milk at once or it may turn out a bit runny. If this does happen feel free to thicken it up with some potato flakes. Recipe is perfect as it stands. I will make this again.

It was great mashed potatoes. Very chessy. I loved it and want to make it again.

Made lots of additions - sauteed onions, sauteed bell peppers, mushrooms. Made this for a tailgate party - I would probably make it again for the same type of occasion.

Good recipe idea with probably hundreds of variations. Omitted bread crumbs, used feta cheese, topped with sauteed mushrooms and green onions.

This mashed potatoes recipe is OK. Instead of using an electric mixer, I used a normal potato masher to give it a better consistency. In addition, softening the potatoes in a sauce pan took a long time and a very large sauce pan was needed (I suggest using a spaghetti pot instead). The mashed potatoes had very little flavor alone so I would advise using more spices mixed in with the potatoes in addition to the cheese and bread crumb toppings. The general idea behind this recipe could be good, it just needs a few adjustments.

the only thing imho is if you beat the potatoes with a mixer you have whipped potatoes (aka mud) and with that texture the flavor goes bye bye too. mashed s/b as it says and it should have some lumps and texture and with the lumpier texture there is more flavor
