Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the diced 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 high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them completely and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Add the chicken or vegetable broth, almond milk, sautéed garlic, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.

Step 7

Using a hand masher or an immersion blender, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, if needed.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve warm.
