These were really great. I liked the idea of chopped green onions. They added the right flavor to the mashed potatoes. Served with my Crockpot Peppery Roast and it was great. Thanks for posting.

I really enjoyed these potatoes!I did use buttermilk instead of milk and added just a bit more than called for. Loved by the whole family! Thanks!

Kudos to Christina for posting this one! I made seven pounds of these potatoes last night and I have to say there were no left overs!!!!They were great! I used more garlic than the recipe called for and a bit more milk because I had to make such a large batch.
