Instructions: Cook potatoes in boiling water until soft. Remove from water & drain.

Place in mixing bowl. While potatoes are cooking, wrap garlic cloves loosely in plastic wrap & microwave on high for 2 minutes until softened. Mash potatoes & garlic together with potato masher. Add butter, cream cheese & sour cream. Stir & mash together mixing well.

Season with paprika, salt & pepper. Mash together. Sprinkle on basil leaves. Stir into potato mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste & serve hot! (these potatoes will be more chunky than smooth and so good!)

Approximately 10-15 minutes.
