  1. This is incredible! I used half of the butter the recipe called for, and Evaporated Skim Milk rather than the whipping cream to save calories. It was still delicious. Sauteing the scapes mellows the flavor a bit, so they have a nice flavor that is not too strong.
     
  2. These are excellent mashed potatoes!!! The garlic taste is very nice and not overpowering. I used red potatoes instead of the Yukon Golds. I also used half-and-half instead of the cream. They were creamy!! I am going to make this again but next time I will use the cream to make them even creamier. Thanks CountryLady for a great recipe!
     
  3. Wonderful, wonderful mashed potatoes! The scapes add a nice garlicky flavor yet taste so fresh at the same time. We mashed russet potatoes, and used half and half instead of heavy cream, then served with grilled steak - the perfect early summer dinner!
     
  4. These were just wonderful. Made them with half-and-half as that was all I had on hand. We all had seconds. Served it with teriyaki steak on the barbeque with sauted mushrooms and more garlic scapes.
     
  5. We had this for dinner tonight and we really enjoyed it.Thanks for a great recipe.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
