big hit for the holidays! My gang totally loved this recipe and it was so easy to prepare. Will definitely make for Christmas. The garlic was perfectly flavored and the cream cheese added a smooth touch. Thanks for the awesome recipe.

This is how my Christmas mash potato is made. And I've been making this for a few years. My family and friends all liked it.

Super easy to make. I love garlic, but I thought 4 cloves was a bit too much. I used chicken broth in place of water, and used 8 oz of cream cheese. There were no left overs.

Very good. My only sugestion is not to keep on warm or low very long after the initial cooking time. It will dry them out. Serve as soon as posible for warm and creamy potatoes.
