My husband said it was too sweet with the sugar, but I enjoyed the flavor with it. Yummy.

This was the first time I made mashed potatoes that I really really liked!!! I didn't want to use powder garlic - so while the potatoes were cooking I did up a simple garlic butter w/ a few tbsp of butter and about 2 tbsp of minced garlic, cooked on med low in a small pot. After it had cooked the garlic a little bit I added my seasonings - a little bit of the sugar that the recipe called for and my substituted italian seasonings (instead of the steak seasoning). I put the garlic butter in the potatoes at the same time as the rest of my butter. Didn't have half n half, so I used heavy whipping cream instead. Absolutely fantastic and cannot wait to make again!

Love these taters!! Followed the recipe with the exception of the steak seasoning and garlic powder. I did boil the potatoes with 3 cloves of garlic. I also added black pepper at the end. These will accompany so many things on our table. We really liked the sugar sweetened flavor. Mashed potato heaven :)

My family LOVED these mashed potatoes. My mother is off-the-boat Irish and my dad pretty much does not change his ways once he likes something...but he adored these. Slight variations based on other reviews, did not add sugar or steak seasoning.

I made this recipe without reading the reviews. Which I should have. Most reviewers are saying do not add the sugar. Man, were they right. I will make them again, this time sans sugar. Great taste overall but without the sugar and more salt, maybe even a tad more garlic/garlic powder they will get 5 stars!!!

I am trying to figure what I did wrong when making these potatoes, when everyone else on this site seemed to love them! I made them exactly according to the recipe, except that I omitted the sugar. I will say that the half cup, i.e., entire stick of butter, made them taste greasy and heavy. They basically tasted like heavy, greasy, garlicky potato paste. I also couldn't taste the steak seasoning -- should have added more, and I had to add a lot of salt to balance out the garlic. I made them for Easter and it was sort of embarassing because no one in my family seemed to like them either. :(

The only thing I am complaining about in this recipe is the raw garlic. I don't mind raw garlic I just didn't care for it in potatoes. My younger kid wouldn't eat them after one bite, but that was understandable. Anyway, great potatoes other than that!
