REVIEWS:

This is my new go-to mashed potatoes recipe. I added a little roasted garlic to the potatoes before mashing, and the commenter below is right on about the addition of grated cheddar on the top before baking, as I did the same thing and it was great! With or without garlic/cheddar, this is a good solid recipe that everyone will love!

Made for years is & loved by all! Forget the mustard, but add 5-6 large cloves of sliced garlic in water. Whip potatoes w/cooked garlic for a wonderful flavor. For ham/pork dishes sprinle grated cheddar on top of casserole last 15 minutes of bake. Make up 1-2 days before entertaining and refrigerate Bring to room temperature before baking. Enjoy!
