Now that the drama is apparently over with my blogs, it is time to get the next recipe posted.

Who doesn't like mashed potatoes? My late husband's mother made the most fabulous mashed potatoes I had ever eaten and it took me years to get the secret out of her

Check here to learn her secret and get the recipe along with delicious variations: svcooks.blogspot.com. Which one is your favourite?

Enjoy!

  I just did and noticed the cream cheese! I don't use butter though and use low fat cream cheese. I should be skipping the cream cheese entirely and just mash the potatoes with the roasted garlic, parsley and a little chicken stock, but I admit to loving the creaminess.

Mashed Potatoes with garlic seems to be my choice.

It's healthy too, garlic contains strong anti-oxidants.

Take a bulb of garlic, roast in the oven. Then squeeze the resulting paste into the mashed potatoes, along with butter and fresh chopped flat leaf parsley.

  Recipe for roasting garlic and for making garlic mashed potatoes even better than what you posted here can be found at the blog (you left out the secret ingredient for the creamiest mash on the planet!)
  
  Love the avatar, BTW. Baker (Tom, not Colin) was always my favourite Doctor.

Oh my, I love the recipe. I also use roasted garlic,
and cream cheese or heavy cream if I don't have cream cheese.
