Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, about 1 inch each.
Place potatoes and whole garlic cloves into 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. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly in a colander. Return them to the pot.
In a small saucepan, heat the low-fat milk and olive oil over low heat until warm. Stir in the rosemary and thyme to infuse the flavors.
Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the drained potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
