Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite foods. I remember being pregnant with my first child, and all I ever wanted to eat was mashed potatoes. I mean I could have had them for breakfast... I might have actually had them for breakfast for a few times during that craving. Even not pregnant I really enjoy mashed potatoes and think they make the perfect side dish... or breakfast 😉 The best part is these are super simple to make!

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Tips & Tricks

I hope you enjoyed these yummy mashed potatoes as much as I have. Please don't worry about them being perfect and feel free to substitute as you see fit. You can really use any potato, though I happen to like Russet the best. You can also make a lower calorie version by substituting margarine for the butter or low fat sour cream instead of the regular sour cream. To cut down on prep time, you can even use garlic powder instead of the minced garlic (though freshly minced garlic is definitely best!) Enjoy!
