How to Make Healthy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and halve 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Place potatoes and 4 whole garlic cloves in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by about an inch.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork (about 15-20 minutes).
- Carefully drain the potatoes, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash until smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh sage (or 1 teaspoon dried), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup sour cream or buttermilk. If the mixture is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Return the mashed potatoes to low heat, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Serve immediately.
