Cheddar Garlic Mashed Potatoes

3/12/14

These creamy cheesy garlic mashed potatoes are the perfect addition to any dish.

If you love all things creamy and cheesy, you are in for a special treat! I recently made the best pot of creamy cheddar garlic mashed potatoes. It was simply out of this world. The combination of creamy potatoes, and sharp cheddar cheese if enough to make anyone’s mouth water, but I also added minced garlic. Honey, these potatoes are truly delicious.

I served the potatoes with my turkey meatloaf , and green beans. Dinner was definitely a hit that night.

Give this recipe a try and tell me what you think!

Cheesy garlic mashed potatoes make for the ultimate addition to any comfort food meal, like a baked meatloaf.

    Rosie would you boil these mashed potatoes in chicken broth as well? I wonder how that would taste.

    I have been cooking for a very long time and I want to say that your recipe is simple, succinct, and divine. I had not thought about sauteing the garlic in the butter first and I thank you for that trick.
