Skinny Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Dairy-Free & Delicious!
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds red potatoes (new potatoes) cut into even sized chunks
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tablespoons Smart Balance Light, see healthy benefits and shopping tips
- ¾ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, see shopping tips
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Scallions or chives, chopped for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chopped red potatoes and smashed garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, then return them to the pot. Add the Smart Balance Light and mash with a potato masher or fork, incorporating the softened garlic.
- Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the pot over medium-low heat and continue mashing and stirring until the potatoes are heated through and reach your desired consistency. Add a little more warm broth if needed. The potatoes will have a slightly rustic texture because the skins are left on.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped scallions or chives, if using. Serve warm.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
