Parsley, Garlic, & Scallion Mashed Potatoes

Made for Zaar World Tour 8. Yummy yummy! I used some duck fat in place of the butter since I had it sitting around and thought it would be in theme. My housemates devoured these in a flash and were asking for more, guess I better save this one and enjoy all over again soon.

Great flavorful mashed potatoes!!! I made this as written but in a scaled back version for the two of us. I made these to served with our roasted chicken quarters, which I made a gravy from the leftover fats and served this over the potatoes, so I didn't have any problem with this note being salty enough. Thanks for sharing the recipe for a great comfort dish. Made for ZWT8.

I think this dish has a lot of potential, BUT What kind of potato do you use?? Red, New Potato ?? I'm sure I'll will be make it again. Before attempting this again, I'll have to figure out what seasonings to use, by reading all of the review, and see that will work for others, and than for me, to make it more flavorful or lot better for me to do.I paid attention to the other reviews and added my own twist to it. I agree with some of the other reviews. You could modify this recipe to any style. It got potential !

Wow Rita~ Wow. These are the best mashed potatoes that I have ever made. Love the ratio of milk, butter and cheese, it was perfect. The garlic and green onions are the topping on the cake for me. I didn't have any parsley and didn't miss it in this lovely dish. I seasoned the potatoes with coarse sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. So much flavor and the texture was great. I will be making these often. Kudos on making it into my Favorites Cookbook for 2012. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT-8 - Great Britian

Yummy!! I halved the recipe and used it on top of Shepherd's Pie - I could probably eat a whole pot , in my jammies, in the middle of winter! Made for ZWT 8

I used this as side dish and all loved it.
I did not add butter (even if I know that I would love it, I used little more milk instead) to avoid more calories and animal fats, but the recipe is soo good, that nobody missed it!
Thanks a lot for thei great recipe!

I have made these twice and have forgotten to review them. These are my go-to holiday potatoes. I made them with roast lamb this Easter and my nephew commented that they were better than his mom's "cheesy potato" casserole (Yuk! Greasy!) The second time I made these I subbed sauteed leek for the green onion (the white part only cut thin and fine) and snuck in some sour cream that needed to be used up, and it was fantastic. I made these the night before and heated them in the microwave before serving. This dish not only tastes wonderful, it also makes a good presentation - so pretty! And to all the reviewers who complained that it wasn't salty enough: Don't you ever taste your food before you serve it? Just add more salt and give it the 5 stars it deserves. This recipe is easy, economical and delicious. 5 stars for sure -- thanks so much for posting!

Yum! I loved the cream cheese and I did use heavy whipping cream in place of the milk. These went over HUGE at our Father's Day dinner! Served with peas and steak! I used a combo of white pepper and black pepper that worked out well, we also used more pepper than called for because we like it a lot! Made for The Queens of Quisine ZWT6!

Yum! What a decadent, delicious way to serve mashed potatoes. Loved the flavor from the garlic and scallion especially. This was a very enjoyable side to grilled ribs at my BBQ today. It also looked pretty sitting in the bowl. Thanks, Rita!

So good and lighter than my usual cream cheese potatoes. They look gorgeous with the green scattered throughout. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for ZWT - Xtra Hot Dishes.

I omitted the scallions and added about twice the butter and twice the cream cheese. I used heavy cream instead of milk and used garlic salt. It's a good base recipe to jump off from and add your own ingredients...like parmesan cheese too! The stay soft even after being refridgerated!

***Warning***I cook "lactose-free" so I made changes!!!! These were our Thanksgiving potatoes! I can't have dairy but I easily made substitutions that made for decadent and delicious mashed potatoes! I kept the measurements the same but I used "soy" cream cheese, smart balance and "rice" milk. I added a heaping TBSP of soy sour cream (because rice milk has very little body, and soy cream cheese is not as wet as dairy cream cheese). Hopefully Lactose-free cooks will try this! Sometimes dairy-free products are too sweet or nutty, but the freshness of the parsley and scallions made these potatoes so yummy.

I love onions and they were great in these mashed potatoes!! These were so good!! Thank you very much for a great recipe for something a little bit different from the ordinary mashed potatoes we normally eat.

Rita is sooo right. Comfort food to the max. Had these with country pork ribs and gravy and there wasn't ANY left and usually I have mashed potatoes left for the next meal. My family adored them, even my ten year old who gripes at anything "weird" looking (meaning the greenish tint to these... which is cool looking btw :-) ) Thanks Rita!!

I loved it, but the main comment I had from my husband was that it wasn't salty enough. One of my girls could have done without the parsley - but I thought it added flavor!

Very good and very pretty. It did need a lot more salt than I would have expected with all those herbs but it was really good. I cut the recipe in half and it still made a huge amount. Anyone would like this and it makes a very attractive side dish, looks just like in the pictures!

MMMMM! These are a great change from plain old mashed! DH wanted the onions softer and not crunchy- whatever! This is fantastic and the leftovers are gonna be great as potato pancakes! Thanks Rita!

These went well with our sausages, Sticky Onion Marmalade Sausages for dinner. I scaled it back to serve the two of us and it worked fine. Another 'keeper' in my book. :)

These potatoes were creamy and dreamy! We had them with meatballs in gravy and the whole family thought they were great. The garlic amount was right on, and we added very little salt as they were very flavorful on their own. Thanks for posting Rita. Nick's Mom
