***Tips: Some added sour cream at the end to make smoother/creamier.
Can use skim milk.
Also, some people do not love Russet potatoes... you can use a combination of Yukon Golds and Reds. However, a farm girl from Idaho... I recomend the Russets. :laugh:

Hey! I can not help it that they used chunks of roasted garlic as garnish....

These I love! Do them with baby reds and leave the skins on. Really yummy!

In my house 2 pounds of potatoes serves 3-4 people!

I like making my garlic mashed potatoes by boiling a few garlic cloves right in with the potatoes, and mashing them into them.

That picture does look awesome!

Oh - and baked garlic makes an awesome spread for garlic bread too!

Maximus, here is an even lower-cal version of the same kind of thing (probably lower-taste too though!). I was actually surprised when reading Chubby Bunny's that the calories are only 172 considering some of the ingredients. Either way I think I'm afraid to see what my 'old' recipe holds for calories!


Yield

5 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)
Ingredients

* 1 whole garlic head
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 pound peeled Yukon Gold or red potatoes, quartered
* 3 cups water
* 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Remove white papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate cloves). Rub oil over garlic head; wrap in foil. Bake at 375° for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Set aside. Discard skins.

Place potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain. Heat milk in pan over medium heat until hot (do not boil). Add potatoes, salt, and pepper, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until potato mixture is smooth. Add garlic pulp, and stir well.

Variations:

Mashed Potatoes With Sage: Omit garlic; add 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage to milk, salt, and pepper.

Chive-and-Goat Cheese Potatoes: Omit garlic; add 3 tablespoons minced chives and 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese to milk, salt, and pepper.
