Skinny Garlicky Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 8 large garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
- ½ cup light sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- ½ cup skim milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme
- Chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Put potatoes and garlic in a large pot with salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat.
- Simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender, drain and return potatoes and garlic to the pot.
- Finally, add sour cream and rest of the ingredients. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth. You can use a handheld mixer but be sure not to overmix the potatoes or they’ll turn gummy. No Bueno!
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put in a pretty serving bowl, sprinkle with a few chopped chives for color and enjoy!
