Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. Yukon Gold or russet potatoes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup low fat milk (or use any variety)
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme or use 1/2 tsp. fresh

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot that's about half full of water to a boil. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
  • While the water is coming to a boil, add the potatoes, the garlic clove, and about 1 tsp. salt to the water and then simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and garlic and return them to the pot over medium heat, shaking until any remaining water dries.
  • Transfer the potatoes and garlic to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the butter or margarine, milk (or buttermilk, if you have it), thyme, and remaining salt.
  • Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until they are just smooth—don’t over-mix (or you can mash them, if you prefer).
  • Serve immediately or transfer to an oven-safe serving bowl and keep warm in a 300-degree oven until you are ready to serve.
