Overall, we really liked these mashed potatoes. Next time I will not add so much cream cheese, and instead add milk. I added some fresh bacon bits!! Yum! Thanks for a great recipe

These are so easy that I make them all the time. I do have to add a bit of milk because they tend to get a little dry. I also like to add some shredded cheese (for cheese lover hubby). These are great. Thanks for posting.

These were only okay. Too dry and way too high in fat.

Pretty good! In regards to the "pound of potatoes"..all the yukon golds I am able to get at my grocery store are MUCH smaller than regular baking potatoes. With that said, I used a two lb bag of yukons...which took me forever to peel all those little guys. Also, I used 1 8oz cream cheese with chives instead of adding fresh chives and added a little half & half to make it easier to mash and mix. Pretty good and went well with our steak dinner last night ("Awesome Steak Marinade" from this site). Would make these again!

I surprised no one else questioned this, but the recipe says to use 1 pound of potatoes. 1 pound of potatoes is probably one potato. I used 8 since it was supposed to make eight servings. I had to use twice as much butter and add milk just to be able to stir the potatoes. I also only used about half the garlic it called for and it was still extremely strong. It was ok, but I won't make it again.

The green onions threw me off. Otherwise, quite tasty.

I really love this type of potatoes, I order them as a side when my husband & I go out to our favorite resturant. The kids on the other hand kinda "scanned" over them, (I'm sure it was all of the "green" from the chives). Thanks Christina!

This recipe was very delicious! To make the mixture more garlicky, I boiled several garlic cloves with the potatoes; when they were soft they were easier to blend with the mixture. I, like previous others, thought the mixture needed some added smoothness. Milk solved the problem.

My family really loved this dish. It was made for Christmas. It may have had a bit too much garlic in it. I would make it with a bit less next time.

I liked the flavor however I found these potatoes to be extremely dry (and I even added some heavy cream). I would probably make these again but add some more milk or cream to make it creamier.
