Garlic Mashed Potatoes

The garlic in these potatoes add so much delicious flavor to traditional mashed potatoes, and will be the star at your Thanksgiving dinner. I also like leaving the skin on for extra nutrition and flavor. Try this dish at your upcoming Thanksgiving feast, and your family and guests will be sure to love it!

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

8-9 Russet Potatoes
salt and black pepper
3/4 cup skim milk
4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

In a saucepan, saute garlic in 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil until garlic is tender.

In a large pot, boil potatoes over medium heat (for about 1 hour), with skin.

Mash potatoes (with skin) when finished boiling in a large bowl, add salt, black pepper, and milk. Then add sauteed garlic mixture from saucepan. Mix.

Then, add the remaining butter and olive oil, mix until smooth.

Serves approximately 7.
