These oven-baked garlic mashed potatoes are a tasty little side dish, especially if you're in the mood for comfort food. The mashed potatoes have a smooth and creamy texture, and the garlic gives them a nice savory flavor that makes them more interesting than your average, ordinary mash. I also liked the addition of cheese on top, which adds another layer of flavor. The black pepper helps to give them a bit of a kick, too. At 429 yen including tax, they're decently priced and make a nice alternative to ordering another bread-based side. Definitely a good option for garlic lovers!

My main complaint is the portion size for the price. At 429 yen, I expected a little more than what you get, especially considering mashed potatoes are a relatively simple side dish. They're tasty enough, and the garlic and cheese make them a nice accompaniment, but the serving feels quite small. I don't think they're bad by any means (I love potatoes and all things garlicky!), but I do think Jolly Pasta could be a little more generous with the portion for the price! Still, if you want something comforting, these hit the spot. Happy eating!
