Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes can bring life to a meal. They are a wonderful addition to a veggie plate, and they don't have to be laden with butter and salt to taste good. I often make mashed potatoes as a side dish for holiday meals. This is an easy and inexpensive recipe that my daughter helped me to prepare. Family cooking is what I love to do!

Potatoes are a great source of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. I like to leave the skins on my potatoes when I cook them for added nutritional value. The skins contain phytochemicals, and these bioactive compounds help fight high cholesterol and heart disease.

Creamy, comforting, hearty, flavorful, and only seven ingredients to make.
