GARLIC-HERB MASHED POTATOES

Garlic-Herb Mashed Potatoes image

Our family loves these creamy and comforting potatoes. Garlic and other herbs make them so mouthwatering, I serve them just plain-no gravy is needed. For an extra-buttery taste, I'd suggest using Yukon Gold potatoes.-Suzi Bonnett, Bellevue, Nebraska
