The kids are back in school and life is back to the same old routine.Th seasons are changing and its time to break out last years duds and see what is wanting and what still fits.In an old fashioned world you may not be able to wear white after Labour Day but you can eat white after Labour Day. You would find this old fashioned girl eating potatoes every day of the week if she could.

I think I could eat a whole plate of those right now! They really look amazing. Next time my husband is out of town I'm making them. (He can't eat dairy.)
Ho, ho, ho I'm totally addicted to this kind of food.
See? I missed being a potato Ho again!! I have this potato salad just waiting to post but I want to be a Potato Ho too! That Mash looks like something I would just scoop up with my hands and stuff into my mouth!!
I hate fashion and its "rules", but I love that they don't apply to our little food corner of the blog-o-sphere. Great recipe, I have never made mashed potatoes with garlic but it must taste delicious!
I know in polite company this is a side dish but this is what I want for the main course!
Beautiful!
Oh, this is so delicious. a crowd pleaser.
That looks great! Yum! Comfort food is awesome!
what could be better than mashed taters? mashed taters with garlic. mashed taters with garlic and cheese trumps it all--masterful dish! :)
i could eat potatoes every day, too. white cheddar with garlic and sour cream sounds amazing. i love the tang that sour cream or buttermilk adds to mashed potatoes.
oh yeah! A potato dish I can try on my Grumpy! Sounds delish!
A nice big dollop on my plate, please! You are no good for my waist Val, but I love you for it :)
My son would absolutely love these. It looks like a wonderful recipe, Val!
There is definitely no such thing as too many potato recipes! Bring em on!

Not exactly a diet food, but who cares??? This is what defines comfort food for me!
My husband would hoover these down in seconds! Love the white cheddar-ing of the potatoes :)
Where the heck have I been and how have I missed out on the Potato Ho Down? These are to die for and I'm willing! ;)
Oh boy, the only thing better than potatoes & cheese are the two together :) Looks so delicious, Val!

I have a love for potatoes. I'm having friends in couple w-ends and now I'm thinking that this would go well with my filet of porc. Thanks for sharing.
From one Ho to another, I sure do appreciate your straight forward attitude here! Take some lovely potatoes, add white cheddar as a twist, and laugh in the face of danger / Don't Wear White After Labor Day Police. Yes!
I cooked these mashed potatoes for my beautiful girlfriend today. They were AMAZING!. We loved them
