How to Make Weight Watchers Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

  1. Peel and quarter 1 pound of red potatoes. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. Combine the potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by about an inch.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  5. Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup nonfat sour cream, 1/4 cup skim milk, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  6. Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. If desired, leave some small chunks for texture.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish. Yields approximately 4 servings (1/2 cup each).
