Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Updated my old favorite to how I currently make them - healthier and tastier, in my opinion.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chunked
• 3 -6  garlic cloves, peeled (or 3/8 - 3/4 t garlic powder)
• 1  cup plain fat-free yogurt (or 1 c sour cream)
• 1⁄2 cup skim milk
• 1⁄2-1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2-1  teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup  shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Drop the potatoes and garlic into boiling water. Cook until potatoes fall apart when pierced by a fork, 10 - 20 minutes.
2. Drain when done; do not rinse.
3. Mash the potatoes and garlic.
4. Using an electric beater (this makes them creamy), blend in cheese, yogurt, and milk. When of desired consistency, add salt and pepper. Taste; add more of either as desired. If it's not garlicky enough, add garlic powder 1/8 t at a time.
