Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them gently using a potato masher or a fork.
Add the low-fat sour cream, sautéed garlic, and vegetable broth to the mashed potatoes, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Garnish with fresh chopped chives before serving.
Serve hot as a delightful, heart-healthy side dish.
