Healthier Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Submitted by JelsMom

"Instead of butter & cream, this recipe gets most of its flavor from fat-free chicken broth and oven roasted garlic."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
• 1⁄4 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 large potato (Idaho or russet)
• 1⁄3 cup fat free chicken broth
• 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1⁄2 teaspoon flaked sea salt

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place garlic cloves baking dish & drizzle with olive oil.
3. Bake 15-20 minutes until garlic is soft & golden, then remove from oven and let cool.
4. Peel potato & cut in half. Place in pot & cover with cold water.
5. Bring to boil over high heat & simmer 30 minutes until tender. Drain.
6. In small saucepan bring broth to boil, reduce heat, & simmer.
7. Squeeze garlic to release cloves from skin. Throw away skins and mash cloves (I use a fork).

Great recipe - I did a slightly different twist I added Chicken soup powder to the water as the potatoes were cooking, saved a bit of the water to mash in with the potatoes, already had roasted garlic MMMmm good. I did not use any salt Thanks I will be making these again & again and promise a better photo
