Creamy Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes
The weather here has been crazy. One day it’s nice sunny spring weather, the next day the yard is covered in inches of snow. March weather is always crazy here in Utah. We had a few nice days last week and we decided to grill up some steaks. I also decided to add this recipe for Creamy Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes from Picky Palate to the dinner menu.
My husband absolutely loves to eat steak with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. If we go out the a restaurant and they have that on the menu, he will more than likely get them. he loves garlic. I must confess, in the past, I used the dry potato packets when we had garlic mashed potatoes with our meal. This recipe was delicious. However, I did find them a little too creamy for my taste and I would have liked a little less sour cream flavor. Next time, I’m gonna reduce the sour cream to 1/2 cup, and just add the milk if needed.
