Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for about 2 minutes, being careful not to brown the garlic.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Pour the low-fat milk over the potatoes, add the sautéed garlic, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mix, as it can make the potatoes gluey.

Step 8

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.

Step 9

Serve the creamed potatoes hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
