These mashed potatoes were a disaster. They were dry, lumpy, and had no flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought these mashed potatoes were just okay. They were a little bland for my taste, but they were still creamy and smooth.

These mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They were dry and lumpy, and the garlic and shallots were overpowered by the taste of the potatoes.

Very flavorful! I added a little bit of white wine to the potatoes while they were cooking and it really brought out the flavor of the garlic and shallots.
