Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The flavor of mashed potatoes made with evaporated milk is much better with than those made with milk, but my granddaughter Elsie Coombes is allergic to garlic so I don't use it if she is eating.
This is how my grandma "Betty True/Weholt" made them.
I loved it when she made them.
