Tips:

For the best mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. They have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water. Once they are boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until they are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth.
Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker on low.

Conclusion:

These Applebee's Garlic Mashed Potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. They are creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. Whether you are serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
