Not pleased. Not worth the time taken. Not touched at church dinner and my usual recipe disappears.

5 stars with some tweeking... I peeled the potatoes, used chicken broth for the liquid & a whole bulb of roasted garlic instead of the granulated garlic. I took some fresh sprigs of rosemary & draped them over the top while the were cooking. The rosemary infused the potatoes with the most amazing scent & flavor! When the potatoes were done cooking, I removed the rosemary sprigs & mashed them with butter & whole milk. They were hands down, the BEST mashed potatoes ever....Everyone agreed.

These are great for pot lucks and holiday dinners. I've followed the recipe to a T and used several different variations. They've come out creamy and great every time. I've been asked many times for this recipe.

Very good recipe but I had touble getting them to mash smoothly. I wanted the texture of the skins but no lumps not sure why I couldn't get the lumps out. I will be trying this again though. We love garlic mashed pototoes and this was super easy. I loved using the slow cooker to cook the potatoes. It made it easier to do other things right before dinner. I followed the directions mostly but did add 8oz. sour cream and 3 oz. cream cheese to try to get some of the gumminess out from beating them so much.

I made this recipe as part of our Thanksgiving meal. Delicious! I put more butter than the recipe called for, and I also added some cream cheese. We'll be using this recipe often!

I love garlic and I moved mashed pots..but this was just nothing special. Honestly it can be done in a regular pot, doing this in a slow cooker didnt seem to add any great benefit. Plus by using the slow cooker for this...I dont have it for the main meat dish. Too bland to me as well.

I made this for a camping trip with the Cub Scouts and it was a HUGE hit! This is a great recipe if you need a crowd pleaser, since it is pretty basic. I think the slow cooker really got the garlic flavor into the potatoes. I will definetly make this one again.

Surprisingly good! When I was putting everything into the crockpot the morning of I thought for sure this wasn't asking for enough water but it was fine and perfect! I used fresh garlic instead of powder and put the garlic on the bottom so that it would be roasted garlic when all was said and done. That got mashed into the potatoes just fine (like butter when it's roasted, afterall). I will use other reviewer's suggestions in the future and add cheese. And I think that it might be better with russets than with reds, will play with that in the future, too.
