Source: Found on Pinterest

Made Christmas Eve 2020. Really good flavor and easy!

Ingredients

  • 4 lb. Yukon potatoes (appox. 10 potatoes), peeled and quartered
  • 1 1/4 c. milk
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 3 Tbls. butter
  • 1/4 c. low fat sour cream
  • 1 Tbls. fresh chives, plus more for garnish
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1/8 t. ground pepper

Instructions

Placed washed & quartered potatoes in a 3 qt. pot; bring them to a boil and cook for 12-14 min until tender. Don’t overcook, the potatoes can get pasty.

While potatoes are cooking, in a small pot, bring the milk and 2 smashed garlic cloves to a boil (stir so bottom of pan doesn’t scorch). Remove from heat and let the mixture stand.

Drain and mash cooked potatoes, using a potato masher. Place potatoes back on the stove at medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until slightly dry, than remove from heat.

Remove garlic cloves from milk and add milk to potatoes; add butter, sour cream, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of chives. Using a hand mixer, mix until well combined.

Serve warm and sprinkle chives on top for garnish.
