I’ve always just thrown stuff in my mashed potatoes. They’ve historically been pretty good, but I could never get them to cross over into the amazing category…until now. This recipe is GOLD. And do you know why? It’s because you BOIL THE GARLIC with the potatoes! Wow! I’m seriously amazed that I made it nearly 30 years without knowing this secret. The other cool thing is you don’t put that much butter in this recipe. And it should be noted that it’s super quick and easy. They even mashed up with very little effort. I’m in love…
