    Optional fun tips: You can make garlic mashed potatoes by adding some minced fresh garlic to the butter and simmer for a little bit before you add it to the potatoes. Just be careful not to burn it! You can also add some dried or fresh chives, bacon, and shredded cheese for a loaded baked potato.
