Boy, I just loved the sliced, browned garlic on these potatoes! Mmm, mmm! Crispy, garlicky! Thanks CL!

Very, very good. I cut the recipe down for 2 people. Love the skins in the mashed up potatoes, the garlic butter is so good with the slices of garlic on the potatoes. I will be making this again when we have company for dinner.

So much better than the garlic red potatoes you get in a restaurant! Thanks for sharing.

These were very good! I scaled it back to 2 servings for DH and I, and they were so quick and easy. I like that the skin was left on and they were just crushed, so I didn't have to worry about making them light and fluffy. We'll be making these again. Thanks!
