I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mashed potatoes were too runny. I had to add more potatoes to thicken them up.

I'm not a big fan of basil, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The basil flavor was subtle and really complemented the potatoes.
