Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch cubes. This ensures they cook evenly.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes into a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil for the peas. Add the frozen peas and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let excess steam evaporate.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter to the potatoes and mash them using a potato masher until smooth. For a creamier consistency, you can use an electric mixer.

Step 7

Gradually add the low-sodium broth and low-fat milk to the potatoes while continuing to mash until you reach the desired creamy texture.

Step 8

Fold the cooked peas into the mashed potatoes gently.

Step 9

Season with black pepper and garlic powder, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy this low-sodium, flavorful dish as a side to your favorite mains.
