Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 pound Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 0.5 cup Low-fat sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. This helps them cook uniformly.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Add the cubed potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the broccoli. Cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are boiling, cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

In the last 5 minutes of the potatoes' cooking time, add broccoli florets to the pot to cook them until tender.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and broccoli in a large colander and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the potatoes and broccoli to the pot with the garlic. Mash together using a potato masher or a fork.

Step 9

Add the low-fat milk, low-fat sour cream, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and achieve a creamy consistency.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you desire a looser consistency, add a bit more milk.

Step 11

Transfer mashed potatoes with broccoli to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
