Garlic Mashed Potatoes

My two boys and I made these delicious mashed potatoes to go with a prime rib with gravy. Together, everything came together to an amazing New Year’s Eve meal. My son chose this recipe because it uses simple ingredients but still tastes great. The garlic adds a lot of flavor to the potatoes and gives the mashed potatoes an interesting garlicky twist. We preferred our potatoes to be smooth and creamy, but you can mash your potatoes in any way you like and it will still be great. Enjoy!
