Clean Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
8 Large Yukon Gold Potatoes (4 1/2- 5 lbs)
3 Large cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
1/2 C Skim milk
1 C Light sour cream
1 TBSP Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1 1/2 TBSP Chopped fresh thyme leaves and chives

Directions:
1. Scrub potatoes but don’t peel them. Cut into halves and
place in a very large, wide saucepan. Add garlic. Cover with
water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover and
simmer until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Drain potatoes and garlic. Return to saucepan set to low
heat. Using a potato masher, coarsely mash. Add sour cream,
milk, salt and mustard. Mash to desired consistency. Stir in
thyme and chives.

TIME SAVING TIP-Prepare mashed potatoes ahead of time, but
don’t add the thyme or chives. Just before serving , reheat in
microwave, stirring often. Add more skim milk if the mixture is
too dry. Then stir in the thyme and chives.
