Great recipe: I now know that I can enjoy virtually fat-free creamy, garlicky potatoes as often as I like - WOW! - so this recipe has seriously won me over! To get the full benefit of this recipe's potential for yumminess, especially if you love garlic, I really do believe that it is essential to bake the garlic as instructed. I made extra while I was baking the garlic for use in other recipes over the next week. Until recently, I've stubbornly continued to use Greek yoghurt - creamy and delicious but NOT low fat - in recipes, but discovered recently when making another recipe that low-fat yoghurts as ingredients are fine. My only change to this recipe was that I used rosemary from a grinder that contains a fabulously flavoursome rosemary and sage blend. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Karen=^..^=! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.Reply

Very good. I would definitely make again. I didn't roast the garlic as the recipe says, I just added minced garlic instead. Therefore I reduced the garlic to a few cloves instead. I added a bit of skim milk because I wanted to beat the potatoes and make them a little creamier so they needed a some liquid.Reply
