Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This helps them cook evenly.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer for a creamier texture.
Stir in the sautéed garlic and butter, heavy cream, and low-sodium vegetable broth. Mix until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Season with black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning according to preference, keeping in mind the low sodium objective.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
