Mashed potatoes are one of the sides I always select when our family visits Cracker Barrel. They are always so smooth and creamy. My homemade potatoes have been known to have a view lumps, lol. Nice to get an inside look at how those buds are prepared.

I didn't know that I have been preparing my mashed potatoes like they do at cracker barrel. My husband was the one that hipped me to the evaporated milk. When we are filling a little adventurous, we add cheese. Thanks for the recipe.

I see that the secret ingredient in creamy mashed potatoes is really evaporated milk, thanks to this recipe! I thought it might have been mayonnaise for some reason. Usually, I prepare mashed potatoes with margarine only. While the flavor is ok, it does lack the creaminess of restaurant-style mashed potatoes. I'll be sure to use milk the next time I make mashed potatoes.

I've never had Cracker Barrel mashed potatoes, so I can't really compare the two. But these potatoes were excellent!!

I was a little wary at first because the recipe called for evaporated milk, but I really enjoyed these mashed potatoes. They were really soft and flavorful. I could eat them with every meal.

If I could eat potatoes all day, I'd eat these potatoes! Mashed potatoes from Cracker Barrel are my favorite and these are the next best thing for sure.

They were good. I like mashed potatoes. I prefer them thicker. These were a bit runny. I have never tried the Cracker Barrel recipe at the restaurant, so it may be fine and what people like. I also like more garlic. This has none.
