Chris isn't a huge fan of mashed potatoes. But I am. So you know what that means? Since I'm usually the one cooking dinner, if I think mashed potatoes will compliment the entree, I make them. (But I also make some egg noodles for him...what can I say? I'm a sucker for my husband.)
I love that this particular version puts garlic cloves in with the cooking potatoes. The garlic gets soft in the boiling process, so when it comes time to mash up the potatoes, you get the fresh garlic mashed right along with it. These are creamy, garlicy and delicious. Enjoy!
