Loved, loved, loved this! I did leave out the thyme at DS's request. Otherwise I made it exactly as posted. Such a quick and delicious side. Thanks for sharing!

Really excellent potatoes. I made it without the 1/2 & 1/2 and still had wonderful flavor and an "almost" creamy texture. My spuds cooked up very moist and soft and I think I would have had soup if I had added more liquid. Without that addition I had a very nice mashed potato dish with great flavor and less calories (that worked for me, lol). The garlic and thyme make this stand out from the rest.

FABULOUS! This is going straight into my best of the best file. I loved the garlic flavor, it was just enough without being overpowering. The only thing I omitted was the thyme. I did serve this with gravy, but it would be perfect just on its own!
