When we spotted a pair of really huge zucchini hidden in the garden, I came up with this summer side dish. I occasionally include cooked chicken to create a delicious one-pan entrée. Try substituting feta or a nice Parmesan if you don’t like goat cheese.

I made this in just a few minutes! Very easy and very tasty. Love, love this potato recipe!!!!
Delicious! By boys and husband say they were the best mashed potatoes, served at a 5 star restaurant!
Great! I used Klondike Gold potatoes and added Pecorino Romano cheese. As suggested by others, I minced the garlic. and could have used a bit more. I can’t wait for the potato cakes with the leftovers.
I loved how creamy these potatoes were but I found it was way to much garlic for me although my hubby and daughter didn’t agree. Lol. I will make again but with less garlic next time.
This is very very good. I use red potatoes and leave the skins on for extra flavor.
Make them for New Years for a group of friends and they loved them!
Well, this was delicious! The raw garlic is a little over-strong when you run into a minced piece, so try to get it as close to a paste as you can. We saved the remaining potato-boiling broth to make soup at a later date. These mashed potatoes also make tasty potato pancakes, which are great topped with fried eggs and hot sauce. Mods: Salty veggie broth instead of chicken broth and salt, no chives, whole milk instead of heavy cream
Absolutely delicious!!! This turned out perfect. I followed the recipe exactly but I did warm up the additions to the potatoes so everything stayed warm. My husband loved them as well, he said they were some of the best mashed potatoes he had ever had and I have to agree.
Awesome flavor!! Just watch the liquid; measure the cream, and sour-cream well; because it can get to soft.
AWESOME! I followed this recipe to the letter and it was spectacular! wouldn’t change a thing!
Creamy comfort food, I love it. Salt, pepper, and some chives gave it color and added flavor.
Picky husband loved, loved, loved it. Easy to make! !
Loved it! Did a bit of tweaking by minusing the sour cream (my husband and I don’t like it) and they came out like restaurant quality. Will be making these again
soya product instead of milk sour cream, to keep it kosher.
These are the best, and the leftovers taste just as good..
No changes. It was perfect.
These are awesome! I used green onions instead of chives because my grocery store was out of them and I didn’t want to search everywhere to find them. The green onions tastes awesome!!! Next time I’ll probably put a little bit less heavy cream in just because there wasn’t enough potato for all the heavy cream and it was a little watery so I would just put a bit in and then mash them and add until you feel it’s right. All in all awesome recipe!
This recipe is the best !!!! I add roasted garlic cloves as others recommended. I serve these with Chef Johns slow cooker beef pot roast recipe and always get asked for the recipes!! Addicting potatoes. You won’t need another recipe.
Amazing! I used roasted garlic and a couple of dashes of white pepper. Also, I used a hand masher and they turned out so light and fluffy!
Made this recipe as written other than cutting recipe in half. It came out OK, but probably a bit too garlicky for our taste. Will probably try making again but will greatly reduce and/or eliminate garlic.
I put in extra butter and some garlic salt – turned out good!
