Some foods just taste like “home” to me. Mashed potatoes are one of those items. Now that I’m older, I like to give my food a bit more flavor. These cheesy garlic mashed potatoes do just that.
If you love garlic and you love cheese, then these are the potatoes for you! This dish is absolutely amazing and will make your taste buds dance. As if the blend of creamy mashed potatoes and cheese isn’t enough, there is just the right amount of garlic that takes this dish to the next level.
These aren’t your grandma’s potatoes!
I love to serve up these garlic cheese potatoes with some of our family’s favorite dishes, including oven-baked BBQ brisket and sour cream and onion chicken. They pair perfectly with anything from chicken fried steak to pork to steak
