Applebee's Garlic Mashed Potatoes (copy Cat)

These were really good. I didn't think they tasted a lot like Applebee's but they were still good. I thought they didn't have enough garlic flavor despite adding garlic powder and garlic salt to the boiling water. I added garlic salt & g.powder to the finished product then they were too garlicky so I fixed it by making some more potatoes with no garlic which made them almost perfect. I peeled some of the potatoes & left some with skins. I also quartered them like Lorrie before cooking to speed things up. I will definatley make again.

I made these to go with Cider-Roasted Pork Loin and they were wonderful. I am not sure how close to Applebee's they are because I can't remember eating mashed potatoes at Applebee's. The only change I made was to warm the milk, cream and butter until the butter melted. The roasted garlic is wonderful.

I've tried other garlic mashed potato recipes (not from recipe zaar) and never cared for them. This recipe is perfect. It has the perfect amount of garlic and roasting the garlic first made it perfect!

Okay, I admit I cheated on this recipe by using garlic salt in place of the garlic due to time and the recipe still came out tasting like the potatoes Applebee's serves! I cut the red potatoes in fourths so they would cook quicker since I doubled the recipe. I used a pastry cutter to mash the potatoes so the texture would be a little lumpy rather than a masher. Results were so tasty!
