I'm not sure why this recipe has so many good reviews. I followed the instructions exactly, but my mashed potatoes turned out terrible.

These mashed potatoes were a disaster! They were lumpy and gluey, and they had no flavor. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of mashed potatoes, but these were actually pretty good. The texture was light and fluffy, and the flavor was just right.

These mashed potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and herbs next time.

These mashed potatoes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! They were light and fluffy, with a hint of garlic and rosemary. Even my picky kids loved them.
