Mashing blanched garlic into potatoes is a tasty way to add lots of flavor without lots of fat.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This is pretty much how I make my mash at home already :) I use Yukon Gold (or Purple, if you can find them at the farmer's market) potatoes for a great natural buttery sweetness without added calories, and leave the skin on for more...

Preparation

  1. Place potatoes and garlic in a large heavy saucepan. Add water to cover and season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, until very tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Shake the pan over low heat, uncovered, for about 30 seconds, to evaporate excess moisture.
  2. Combine buttermilk and oil (or butter) and warm gently in the microwave or on the stovetop. (Do not overheat the buttermilk or it will curdle.)
  3. Off the heat, mash the potatoes and garlic, adding enough of the buttermilk mixture to make a smooth puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
