Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks in a large pot. Add enough low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch.
Step 3
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot with the potatoes.
Step 4
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are very tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and garlic well, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
Step 6
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add unsalted butter and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth. Gradually add milk while mashing to achieve desired creaminess.
Step 7
If the potatoes are too thick, add some of the reserved cooking liquid, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 8
Season with freshly ground black pepper and stir well to combine.
Step 9
Fold in the chopped fresh chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve. Enjoy your low sodium garlic mashed potatoes!
