So last night I did instant (organic) and they turned out pretty damn good. I followed the instructions on the box to the letter.

Would you guys recommend adding garlic?

Garlic is yummy. Sometimes I add salsa to add a Mexican kick or masala powder to create an Indian flavor.

Tryfuhl's ideas sound really good.

thanks man, we're coming into pumpkin season which is another great addition

I've never thought to try masala or anything indian, that sounds great.. I bet it'd be really good on home fries too.. and sweet potatoes! you got me started now!

what type were they? just plain flakes or one of the already flavored ones? garlic, butter, salt, pepper are staples.. well not always pepper, but most of the time

I'm a fan of garlic so I'll say yeah.. another idea is to make the potatoes, mix in the additions (say garlic, cream/half-and-half/milk if you don't have either, a little butter and salt, some rosemary.. or save to top with), top with parmesan and pour some melted butter on top of that.. toss it in the oven until the parmesan makes a nice golden brown crust.. if you didn't put rosemary in the potatoes you can always sprinkle it on top after pulling it out

if you have a cooking torch you can do the crust quicker/easier
