These lived up to the hype - I made them the night before Thanksgiving and reheated them while the turkey was resting. They were yummy, and now I know how to roast garlic! Thanks, Mimi!

I will add my applause to this recipe - Excellent flavor I love the roasted garlic. I mixed the mashed garlic, sour cream & buttert together and kept it at room temperature so all I had to do after draining the potatoes was to put the mixture in mash and season. — posted Nov 18, 2004 This time I used the scooped out innards from potatoes that I used for Potato skins and it worked perfectly - I baked the miture for 30 minutes at 350F It was great, some crisp bits an looked golden

These are truly unbelievable! The taste of the roasted garlic is not like that of regular pressed garlic. Its very mild and VERY tasty. My husband wants me to make potatoes this way from now on . I didn't have any sour cream though so just added a little extra milk. The riceing made them sooooo smooth and fluffy. Thank you so much for sharing!

I think that roasted garlic is easier to make this way: Simply slice of the top the the head of garlic, cutting off just the tops of each clove. Brush the top with olive oil, and wrap in a scrunched up aluminum foil "snake". Roast at 400 degrees F for about an hour, or until the tops of the colves are golden brown and the individual cloves look to have separated from the side walls of the head. After it cools, simply squeeze from the bottom of the head, and all the roasted garlic cloves will pop right out.

We loved how wonderful these potatoes tasted when done! CHANGES I MADE: I forgot to add the olive oil, I used 1/4 + 1/8 TSP of garlic powder, 3/4 TSP Salt, 1/2 Cup condensed milk, 1/4 TSP White Pepper, 2 TBS margarine. I had no way of judging pounds of potatoes but used about 6 regular sized russets for the amounts listed above. It made enough for approx 4 poeple the way I did it. Fabulous tasting potatoes. Don't miss putting the white pepper in. I thought it added an elegant zing to the taste. If you're not sure about the garlic do like I did and try 1/4 + 1/8 TSP of garlic powder. It seemed to be enough without being overpowering but more would have been too much. Thanks for posting!

Delicious! Yukon Gold potatoes are best, but Russett potatoes are also very tasty when prepared this way. I made 3 minor alterations both times I prepared this dish, and will probably repeat them in the future: 1. I had no sour cream, so I substituted 4 oz. of softened cream cheese. 2. I did need to add milk or cream to get the desired consistency, and I used a full pint of whipping cream. It's so rich that it's best saved as a special treat, but it is wonderful. 3. I added chopped fresh chives right before serving.

This turned out really great, however I used less butter, more olive oil, about a teaspoon of cayenne (we like it spicy!) and fresh ground black pepper instead of white pepper. Added a little 2% milk and it was great as a side to simmered round beef and sauteed whole kernel corn!

It's true, they're amazing potatoes. Who knew roasting garlic could be so easy? I pressed mine and added a touch of half and half the last thirty seconds of whipping. They were divine with our onion and mushroom smothered pork chops and side of roasted asparagus. This is the the way to mashing potatoes.

Yep, you're right - they're fantastic. And they reheat wonderfully! Thanks, Mimi!

YUMMMMMMMM!!!! I have never made garlic mashed potatoes, and I am so glad I found this recipe. I made these for a dinner party. I used red potatoes (b/c I love mashed red!) skin on, and doubled so I used 2 whole heads of garlic. These were the bomb of the whole meal! I made crab stuffed chicken - and the potatoes were the hit - so much for the hard recipes!!!! Thanks! My husband says these were the best!!!!!
