Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other low-fat milk)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces) to ensure even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Place the potatoes and garlic 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, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes and garlic for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, shaking gently to remove excess water.
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the vegetable broth, almond milk, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mash the potatoes and garlic together using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and creamy. For a chunkier texture, mash to your preferred consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
