- 0.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and quarter the Yukon Gold potatoes, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking.

Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the pot with the potatoes.

Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the potatoes.

Start mashing the potatoes and garlic together using a potato masher or fork.

Slowly pour in the low-fat milk while continuing to mash, adding just enough milk to reach your desired consistency.

Season the mashed potatoes with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Gently fold in the chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of fresh flavor and color.
