Introduction

A comforting classic with a mild garlic taste and very little added fat. We used very little butter but served it on top so you can really taste it. A comforting classic with a mild garlic taste and very little added fat. We used very little butter but served it on top so you can really taste it.

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

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

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

I used a little bit less skim milk (maybe a cup and a half) and they turned out wonderful! Even my fiancee loved them! We will definitely make again. - 1/4/11

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

When I make mashed potatoes, I use the water they were boiled in, only adding milk or other liquids as needed. Seems such a waste to toss out the vitamins and minerals that soaked out of the potatoes. - 3/28/17

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
