Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This helps them cook evenly.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer for a creamier texture.

Step 7

Stir in the sautéed garlic and butter, heavy cream, and low-sodium vegetable broth. Mix until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Season with black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning according to preference, keeping in mind the low sodium objective.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
