Uncle Dick's Mashed Potatoes
Denise
"This is recipe is loved by everyone who has tried it. My husband's uncle kept this recipe a secret for many years and would not share it with anyone; we had to wait until he passed away, and then my husband's aunt gave us the recipe. I made these for a Thanksgiving dinner we had at church, and now every time we have any sort of meal at church I am always asked if I going to make uncle Dick's potatoes. Even in the summer, this is what they want me to make. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do."

The convience of having the dish preprepared is great but I found it a bit tart tasting because of the sour cream & cream cheese. Still prefer the taste of basic mashed potatoes with milk & butt...

By far THE BEST mashed potatoes EVER!!! Bacon bits on top is a nice add on also. YUMMY! :)

This was okay, but it didn't have quite as much flavor as I was hoping it would have, despite the fact that I (thankfully) used one whole clove of garlic even though I halved the recipe. However...
