    Garlic Mashed Potatoes - Andrea Meyers

    We love garlic and add large quantities of it to pretty much anything we cook, including mashed potatoes. We use at least six cloves for these potatoes, and sometimes more. And the recipe is very flexible. We have three other variations that we do just to change things up a bit. You can stir in some bacon bits (real, not fake) and some cheddar cheese, or add Parmesan cheese. You can also add the garlic to the potatoes after the potatoes cook and just stir it in.

    Feel free to share any variations you come up with!

      Wow, all these things that you do.... Im jelous, you seem to be a very strong woman with many talents and great perseverance. And having fun at the same time. I am a marine wife who dreams of baking bread (owning a bakery) but was very intimidated by it. After spending three hours skimming through your blog I have a new found confidence and excitement about thing. Since, I have baked my first loafs of bread along with several other recipes you have provided ,and started the plans for my very first garden all my own. Thank you for being an incredible resource. I am and from now on a big fan!
