Jen's Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Oh. My Goodness. This is seriously like the Holy Grail of potatoes. My whole family INHALED these, then asked for seconds. So very delicious.

Amazing recipe! I substituted Greek yogurt for sour cream and it tasted amazing! I would make this again. Big hit for thanksgiving.

THE best mashed potatoes ever. I made them the day before Thanksgiving and then put them in the slow cooker on low setting about 3 hours before dinner. Delicious!

What can I say? YUM! Creamy and garlicky - our favorite things.

This recipe is great. However if you use all organic natural ingredients like I do you need to use THREE heads of garlic. The GMO garlic heads most people use are much larger because of genetic engineering than organic natural garlic. The rest of the recipe should stay the same. Other than using coconut oil instead of olive oil when you roast the garlic because we all know olive oil is ONLY a healthy oil when cold. NOT WHEN HEATED OR COOKED WITH. I also prefer my mashed potatoes with the skin left on (also healthier) so it makes the recipe much easier and healthier (Minus the crazy Carbs!)

I thought these were okay. I was afraid that two heads of garlic would be over the top because I'm not a huge garlic fan, but even I would use two the next time I made it, as the garlic flavor was not very strong just using one head. Made these for Christmas dinner and everyone seemed to like them.

Go Jen!!!! This is a great recipe. My family and I just love it....

These were good and rich. I cut the sour cream in half because I didn't have a full cup. I used baking potatoes with the skins on. I made about 4 hours ahead of time and kept them warm in the crock pot with a little half and half in the bottom since my oven was full.

WOW WOW WOW!!!! These are great!!!!! Thanks for this awesome recipe! :)

Soooo delicious! I'm definately making these again! I didn't have a full 5lb bag of potatoes....but close enough:) Also I had already started boiling potatoes in garlic water when I found this. I can't believe it didn't call for milk! I was skeptical....but I'm loving them!

These are the best mashed potatoes I have ever made. I should have cut the recipe in half but now we have left overs for tomorrow! They were so creamy....omg, my husband and I both loved these!!!!

Great potatoes! They were creamy and delicious. I struggled a bit with the garlic, trying to make it in advance the first time (it got all hard), but by the second round it worked great. Tip: don't make the roasted garlic in advance! It turned out a really good, basic, tasty mashed potato, which was what I wanted. It wasn't a dish that really stood out, but that being said, most people took seconds.

These potatoes were very flavorful. In my family the garlic didn't disappoint but the texture of the potatoes were gummy. I might tey a different type of potatoe that I am more familiar with next time. Overall great recipe.

Very creamy and very delicious. Maybe a little less sour cream, but definitely keep the 2 heads of garlic!

We loved these! We didn't change a thing... I was thinking about cutting the recipe in half but my daughter is glad I didn't. Said she'll eat these for Breakfast and lunch till they're gone. But dang this is a lot of mashed potatoes!

Best creamy mashed potatoes. Delicious every time we make it

Delicious!!!

The best potatoes I've ever made! I'll definitely be making these again for every holiday!

I made it and chose to keep the skins on and that was a mistake. Also make sure that potatoes are all the way cooked soft. The time depends on the size of your chunks. Great taste.

there are only 2 of us, so I cut everything in half, except the garlic. It was perfect

Outstanding!

Very good. It sat for a while before I could serve it and it got a little thick and solid. Add some milk to loosen it up.

It made my mouth water as I imagine how the finished product would taste!

Delicious! I was hesitant to try a new recipe on Thanksgiving, but decided to give it a shot anyway. These were loved by all! The only thing I did differently was to cook the potatoes in my InstantPot to free up space on the stove, and I used half the amount of butter called for, which was plenty. These were gone in no time!

Yes, I added chives and half a cup of whole milk.

I made this for our Christmas prime rib dinner. It was a big hit from the youngest to the oldest!

I had I initially forgotten to add the sour cream so I added a bit of buttermilk. Then when I realized what I'd done, I added the sour cream. It was the perfect t consistency. I also added some chopped fresh chives into the mashed potatoes. This recipe really is fantastic.

Followed this recipe exactly & it was DELICIOUS! Wouldn't change a thing! I can't belive how easy it was & how smooth the potatoes came out. They were perfection! I will always come back to this recipe.

it was very good i change the recipe like the other review that i read i put sour cream and milk so the potatoes wre easyer to mash i would make it again

I made these ahead and warmed them for one hour in the oven at 300, covered with tin foil...they were still so creamy even a day later.

No changes needed, delicious as is!!!!

I made these for a lock in at my kids church and tripled the recipe- piled them into a large aluminum roasting pan. I threw some Parmesan cheese on top of part and cheddar on top of the rest and put them in the oven on 180 or so until it was time to take them over. Since I made so many I was expecting some left overs. No such luck. All gone :(

I found them a smidge on the dry side but otherwise, delicious! This got rave reviews from my daughter but I think I may add a bit of cream or half & half next time.

I love these mashed potatoes because they have everything in them! And the recipe makes a ton of potatoes so I love that too. I only make them for holidays though because they're probably not very healthy, haha.

I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! I used russet potatoes instead of Yukon.

Made these for the fam and they absolutely LOVED them! I did taste them and they were delicious! No changes needed IMO and I'll definitely be making them again-yum! Thanks for sharing ?? November 2020

Great mashed potato recipe! We love roasted garlic in our mashed and it came through nicely in this recipe. The sour cream and cream cheese added super creaminess as well. Will make again!

So creamy and delicious!

garlic got hard. Next time less butter and more milk.

Wonderful creamy dish.

I made this for Thanksgiving 2018 and it has been requested for Christmas 2018 by the whole family!

Absolutely delicious!

Very delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except I did 5 servings and at the end I added real bacon pieces, because we love bacon. But this was so creamy. My husband and kids told me I’m not allowed to make any other kind of mashed potatoes.
