What an awesome recipe! The potatoes came out fluffy and the fresh garlic was a nice surprise. Most mashed dishes leave your mouth feeling coated. Alton's did the opposite, it was light and left my mouth feeling clean. All the kids loved it! It was a little on the bland side, so you might want to salt and pepper to your liking. Definitely a keeper.

I have never had luck making mashed potatoes for a large crowd (they always come out mealy but this recipe was easy and the potatoes were great! I was so afraid of over-cooking the potatoes they were slightly under-done (probably could have used another 5 minutes but otherwise, they came out great. I used the ratio given for the liquid but was still slightly short so next time I will increase that. Otherwise, great recipe.

These were the first mashed potatoes that I made on my own. Rich, creamy, and tasty. My mom would kill me, though, if I made them again. With all of the ingredients, they were pretty expensive and fattening. I know how to dress up mashers now though.

Not only did the potatoes taste bland, but I simmered the milk & garlic mixture till the potatoes were done and the mixture became curtled, once added to the potatoes the curtles were visible throughout the potatoes. Also, there was no creamy texture other than the lightness of the potatoes. I've make mashed potatoes with milk and butter which have a better outcome than this one. The only good thing about this recipe was the choice of potatoes. Sorry Alton, you're still my favourite, but this recipe wasn't one of your best.

These really are incredibly light and fluffy... I've always loved mashed potatoes of all kinds, but I never knew they could be like this.

This is my husband's favorite way to have his potatoes.

The Baked potato was the best I've ever made; the mashed were simply perfect (but they took longer to cook than Alton implied. I'm yet to try the Au-Gratin.

The "Mashers" were great, though I added a little extra cream than the recipe called for to mine... as well as parsley, chedder cheese, and sour cream; all served with some baked herbal chicken with a fresh salad and home made croutons on the side. Yum!

These are awesome mashed potatoes. I used lots of garlic, and they were so delicious! My only suggestion is to make sure not to boil the garlic and cream mixture. I accidentally let mine boil and it reduced, so I had to add more buttermilk to cut the strong garlic flavor. It still turned out great though! Just let that mixture barely simmer. If you see a lot of bubbles, turn it down!

I thought this was really easy to make, but kind of bland. I think I will make more of the mixture to start and add more. Maybe add some butter as well?
