Skinny Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Skinny Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Introduction

Mellow roasted garlic and chicken stock replace loads of cream and butter to create this rich and satisfying comfort food. Even using a whole bulb, these potatoes will have a mild garlic flavor; real garlic fans may want to use more.

Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    1 garlic bulb, unpeeled
    splash of olive oil
    4 large potatoes (Idaho or russet)
    about 1 cup Basic Chicken Stock or low-sodium canned
    salt to taste
    freshly ground black pepper







Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Place the garlic cloves in an ovenproof dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place the dish, uncovered, in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the garlic is golden brown and soft.

3. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4. Peel the potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 30 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain.

5. Bring the stock to a boil, and turn down to a simmer.

6. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves to release each clove of garlic. Mash the garlic with a fork and throw the skins away.

7. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork, or use a food mill. Add the roasted garlic. Slowly add the stock until the desired consistency is reached.

8. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

  • Thanks for the recipe. I did enjoy the potatoes, but like another poster said, I would have liked them a little creamier. I'll make them again with a tiny bit of milk. The garlic flavor was absolutely wonderful! - 12/2/08

  • This dish was SO good! I've made this dish twice for my anti-low-fat anything family, and they never suspected they were eating healthy. I heard nary a complaint, and this is from the crowd that fondly remembers the Thanksgiving my brother used 4 sticks of butter in the potatoes. - 12/31/07

  • Excellent and easy! You don't miss the milk and butter of the traditional version. I did roast the garlic longer than 20 minutes though. Also, I didn't use much broth at all. - 11/22/07

  • Excellent, low effort. I would roast the garlic a little longer than 20 min; the consistency should be like butter when you mash it. Would be good with chopped parsley. - 11/22/07
