Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for uniform cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, and a fork can easily pierce through them.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot over low heat. This step helps to evaporate any excess moisture, resulting in fluffier mashed potatoes.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and low-fat milk until warm. Do not allow it to boil.

Step 6

Remove the pot of potatoes from the heat. Use a potato masher to begin mashing the potatoes until they are broken down.

Step 7

Gradually add the warm broth and milk mixture into the potatoes, mashing and stirring to incorporate.

Step 8

Add the garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Continue to mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a delicious low-fat side dish.
