I don't know if it's fair for me to review this recipe anymore, seeing how much I changed it. But for a first-time mashed potato maker, this recipe turned out great. I didn't weigh the potatoes, I just used about 2/3 of a 5 lb bag. I also didn't have half and half, so I used two cups of 2% milk melted in with a stick of butter. I also didn't have six cloves of garlic, so I used about three and added in some garlic powder. After mashing the potatoes and adding in about two thirds of my wet ingredients, I added in some Rondele Garlic & Herb cheese and about two ounces of parmesan. After taste-testing them, I added some salt and pepper. Overall, these are pretty easy to make and the recipe is pretty flexible if you don't have proper ingredients. Can't go wrong with these.

This was easy and very tasty. I made this on Sunday afternoon for my husband and I. Cut everything into thirds and it still made 4 servings. It was excellent. Thank you Alton.

We made a modified version of these and they were off the charts good. We used yukon gold potatoes and I only had heavy cream so I added some milk to it and it worked great. Also, I left the skins on the potatoes. I just love them and they were so good. You have to try them, they are really great!!!

I didn't have half and half, so I subbed butter and milk. WOW! That was the yummiest thing I've had in a very long time. I didn't use nearly as much milk as the recipe called for though. I used 2/3 cup butter and 1/4 cup milk. That's a considerably lower amount of liquid.

Also if you let potatoes steam in the colander for a few minutes, they dry out a bit, and won't be nearly as watery. The consequence of this, is that they may chill off more quickly. Mashed potatoes are difficult to keep warm.

This was pretty tasty. I think I might prefer mashed potatoes made with chicken broth - a very easy way to flavor without adding fat. But overall, this is another one of Alton's hits. After you drain your potatoes, put them back in the pot to steam off some of the moisture. That will help them dry a bit in case you're worried about the finished dish turning out too soupy. You can always add more half and half (or chicken broth later. I served these taters with Bobby Flay's chicken fried steak - they're an excellent pair! Thanks for the recipe!

We made this for a side dish in our Cristmas dinner and it was a big hit! It was so easy to make and has so much flavor! Next time I'm going to add just a touch less 1/2 and 1/2, as the potatoes were just slightly more runny than I like them.
Great mashers!

This was the best recipe for mashed potatoes I have ever come across. It was so easy to make that I had my 8 year old nephew do most of the work (which he enjoyed doing. The mashed potatoes were still creamy right out of the refrigerator.
