Overall, these mashed potatoes were a good side dish, but not my favorite. I think I prefer mashed potatoes made with butter and milk.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too garlicky for my taste. I think I'll use less garlic next time.

Overall, these mashed potatoes were a good side dish, but not my favorite. I think I prefer traditional mashed potatoes without the pesto.

The spinach pesto was a bit overpowering for me. I think I'll use less of it next time.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll add less milk next time.
