No-Guilt Mashed Potatoes

No-Guilt Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes evoke thoughts of coziness, warmth, and comfort -- but also indulgence and guilt! In this recipe, you enjoy all the benefits minus the guilt. The dish is surprisingly creamy without milk or butter in the mix.

Ingredients:
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeledand cut into large chunks
1 box (32 oz) chicken broth(low-fat, low-salt)
3 to 5 cloves garlic, peeled
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
pinch of salt and pepper

Directions
1. Place the potatoes in a pot with broth, a dash of salt, and garlic cloves. Add water to cover 2 inches above the potatoes. Bring potatoes to a boil and cook until soft but not falling apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Drain most of the liquid into a large measuring cup. Smash potatoes with a hand masher, whisk, or electric mixer.
3. Add Parmesan cheese and enough reserved broth until you reach desired consistency.
4. Finish with a sparing salt sprinkle and freshly cracked black pepper.
