MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS (4 SERVINGS)

Garlic is a great way to add flavor to mashed potatoes without adding fat. Plus, garlic is rich in
selenium, a strong cancer-fighting agent.

5 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into
1⁄2-inch chunks
1⁄2 cup water
1⁄4 to 1⁄2 cup fortified plain unsweetened soymilk or other nondairy milk
1⁄2 teaspoon salt


1. Place the garlic in a medium saucepan. Arrange the potatoes over the garlic. Add the water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes, until
the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. Check occasionally and add more water, 1 tablespoon at at time, if the saucepan becomes too dry.

2. Mash with a potato masher or fork. Then stir in enough soymilk to obtain a creamy consistency. Season with salt to taste.

3. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Garlic Mashed Potatoes will keep for up to 2 days.
