Ingredients
- 2Â medium potatoes
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup 1% low fat milk

- Boil potatoes and garlic over medium heat until soft.
- Drain off cooking water.
- Whip potatoes and garlic with beater, slowly adding butter and milk until whipped smooth.
Helpful hints
- Double the garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
- Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using the double boil method:
- Double boil method: Peel and small dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and prepare as desired.
- Boiled potatoes can be frozen in batches.
- *Potassium content taken from reference values for double-boiling small peeled and diced potatoes.
