Trader Joe's has a frozen mashed potatoes. There are little buds of potato in a plastic bag. You thaw the amount you need and mix it together with extra butter, garlic, seasonings, or none of the above. You can use them as a side dish with gravy, or without gravy. You can add chopped onions and make patties, then fry. I don't think they have them all year round, so go get'em. Abby

Hi, Janet, Mashed potatoes are simple but universally liked. You don't have to do much to make them delicious. If you have some fresh garlic on hand, put a clove in the water with the raw potatoes. Boil the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, salt and pepper. The garlic will not be noticed as intense garlic flavor, but the potatoes will taste delicious. You can also add some shredded cheddar cheese to the mashed potatoes for a different flavor. If you are serving them with roast beef, add the garlic; it will compliment the beef beautifully. Hope this helps.
