Great mashed potatoes! These potatoes turned out so flavorful with the roasted garlic. It was a nice change of pace using buttermilk vs. regular milk or cream. These potatoes went well with your recipe for "Ethel's Chicken". Great comfort food dinner for sure.

Delicious, creamy mashed potatoes! The garlic really enhances great flavors in these potatoes. We tasted them before and after adding the garlic and realized how much better the taste was after adding the garlic! We brought these potatoes to a potluck and everyone LOVED them! Thanks! Made for Zaar tag.
