I really enjoyed these mashed potatoes. What I really liked about this recipe, besides for the fact that it was easy to make, was the fact that the garlic flavor seemed very natural and not overpowering.
I highly recommend keeping the skin on the potatoes as the recipe calls for. Besides, the skin is very good for you!
