Directions
Mashed Potatoes with Garlic, Basil and Chives, I found this gem in a cookbook called Festive Recipes for the Holidays. Gave it some personal tweaks. Like more garlic. Can one have too much garlic? I don’t think so! Unless you’re a vampire!, I made this a few weeks ago, and while it is yummy, it sounds like it has more flavor than it does. I expected a burst of flavor, but it is just good mashed potatoes! I will make again, b/c it helps me use the basil from my garden, but it isn’t super spectacular., I thought the basil overpowered the garlic flavor. Next time I will leave out the basil.
