Loved these potatoes. What a great plan to add the garlic to the potatoes while cooking - it adds a nice subtle flavor. Thanks Margo59 for a nice new keeper. Made for Chef Alphabet Soup Tag.

I was shocked I didn't have a review on these! I've made this recipe on at least 6 occasions since finding in October 2010. Absolutely love this recipe. Makes a lot and freezes okay -- well enough to use in a potato chowder crock pot soup -- and with the garlic, only enhanced the flavor of that recipe!<br/><br/>Thanks for posting!

Cooking the garlic with the potatoes does mellow out the flavor - Easy tasty recipe that garlic lovers will love (non garlic lovers too). I used powdered chicken soup base and just mashed it right in with the potatoes - no milk just a bit of the potato water Thanks for a tasty recipe Margo59

I tried this for Thanksging. I will always use this recipe for mashed potatoes! They are so bland otherwise. I never thought to use a crockpot. It turned out great- quick and easy. But I forgot and put the boullion in with the water instead of the milk. And I used pre-diced garlic.
