Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 head garlic

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered

  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

  • 6 tablespoons margarine

  • ½ cup skim milk

  • ½ cup reduced-fat sour cream

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Remove outer skin from garlic head, leaving individual cloves intact. Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the top, exposing all cloves. Coat top of garlic with olive oil and use your fingers to work it in. Wrap in foil and place in a baking dish.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

  4. When the garlic is about halfway done, place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. When poked with a fork, they should break once. Drain.

  5. Remove garlic from the oven. Squeeze garlic from each clove into a small bowl and mash with a fork.

  6. Return potatoes to the pot and mix with cream cheese, margarine, milk, sour cream, and garlic. Mix in salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

For larger potatoes, cut into 2-inch cubes. You can substitute red new potatoes if you can't find Yukon Gold.
