    Way too runny. I like to use Swansons Broth, Fat Free No MSG and boil the potatoes in the broth. After wards when you strain them the broth can be added to soup.I put 1/4 cup milk in the microwave and I tablespoon chopped garlic that really gave the garlic taste. Pat in Maine - 3/9/10

    We love garlic. Sometimes I'll add 1/4 cup of egg substitute to give them a little more body. - 3/20/07

    I don't understand why you would cook the potatoes first and then let them sit for 30 mins while you cook the garlic. It seems to me you would cook both at the same time, that way everything is hot and ready at the same time - 4/10/08

    These were good but I like my potatoes a little creamier so I added a 1/2 cup fat free sour cream. Loved the garlic though! - 3/8/07

    Want five stars? I recommend doing this: Use the two cups of milk on low heat as suggested. I crushed my garlic, added a whole bunch of pepper. For the finish add 1-2 tablespoons of grainy mustard to give it a kick. Add the milk mixture slowly so you don't make it wet. I only used about 1/2. Enjoy! - 2/1/13

    I had to add more potatoes to actually make the mashed potatoes instead of potato soup. I think I'll skip the white pepper next time,or at least cut it down. - 2/21/11

    I tried this recipe this past weekend. I liked the idea of boiling the garlic in the milk. I also added a bit of sour cream, I always add a little when I have it on hand. I will definitely make this one again. I added it to my recipe file on my computer. - 6/23/09
