Easy-to-do Garlic Flavored Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:   

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 
• 3 lbs russet potatoes, washed, peeled and cubes 
• Ground black pepper to taste 
• 6 garlic cloves, separated and peeled 
• 1 tbsp trans-free margarine 
• ½ cup milk, fat-free 

Preparation:

1. Soak the potatoes entirely in a large stockpot then bring it to boil. Lessen the heat settings and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain the water entirely from the stockpot. 
2. Cover the garlic with water in a small saucepan then bring to a boil. Lessen heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until garlic is tender. Drain the water off the garlic. 
3. Mix in milk and garlic in a blender or in a food processor. Process until consistency is smooth. Mix in the processed garlic and margarine mixture to the cooked potatoes. Mash potatoes to preferred consistency. Add black pepper to taste and garnish with parsley. Serve while hot. 

This recipe features russet potatoes that are low in moisture content but are high in starch, making them an excellent choice of potato type for mashing.
