Garlic Mashed Potatoes

With Thanksgiving coming, I will try and start to post some of favorite recipes I have shared with my family during the past several years. This one is Tristan's absolute favorite of mine. Enjoy..I am bad about using measurements so sorry for the guesstimates!

7-8 Large Baking or Yukon potatoes
1 cup sour cream or creme cheese (or a mixture of both)
1 stick of butter (or margarine if you please)
1/2 cup milk
1-2 fresh cloves of garlic minced (I use a garlic press)
salt and pepper to taste (I love lots of pepper!)
Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.
Boil them for approximately 20 minutes (or until done)
Add all ingredients and mix well breaking up chunky pieces with a masher.
Test to see if they need more salt..
Enjoy!
