      You season the potatoes after they have been cooked. I’ve never done it this way before. I’ll have to give this a try. Sure looks good.

      I love the MM song too.

      Have a terrific day and week ahead Catherine. 🙂

      My mother was adding garlic and sour cream to mashed potatoes 60 years ago – it’s the only way I ever remember making them but sometimes when I make mashed potatoes (not often, I don’t like potatoes) I put in whipped cream cheese because I rarely have sour cream in the house…

      And yes they are creamy and delicious…

      Catherine, I hate to admit this but we’ve fooled many guests with our great homemade mashed potatoes…requiring little effort and hard to beat…from the grocery store and Bob Evans. This is one of the very few pre-made food products that comes very close to homemade. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

      Delicious Catherine…I always use fresh garlic in mine though as I don’t have powdered garlic in.

      Music to cook by. Great idea. Unfortunately I have to watch my potassium so mashed potatoes are a no no.

      Have a great day!
