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

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