Upgrade your mashed potatoes with oven-roasted garlic and skin-on Yukon Gold potatoes for a flavorful twist. Enjoy leftovers cold the next day!
Ingredients:
  • 1 head garlic
  • 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 6 tablespoons margarine
  • 0.5 cup skim milk
  • 0.5 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for perfect baking temperature.
  • Peel the outer skin off the garlic head while keeping the cloves intact. Trim off the top by 1/4 to 1/2 inch to expose the cloves. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the garlic and massage it in with your fingers. Wrap the garlic in foil and place it in a baking dish.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes until golden brown.
  • Once the garlic is halfway cooked, add the potatoes to a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring the pot to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender but slightly firm when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes before using.
  • Take the roasted garlic out of the oven, squeeze out the cloves into a small bowl, and mash them with a fork.
  • Combine the potatoes back in the pot with cream cheese, margarine, milk, sour cream, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
