*Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes - only 90 cal per serving!*

Now, these potatoes were definitely worth the trouble!  Jay O. even said they were the best mashed potatoes he had ever had, so that made it worth it!  Whether they were actually his favorite, who reallyyy knows :)

These potatoes only have 90 calories per serving, and you aren't losing the flavor you're looking for!  I highly recommend trying this.

Ingredients:
2 whole garlic heads
3 pounds cubed, peeled yukon gold potatoes 
1 cup chopped onion
1 4 oz. container light sour cream
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
(you can add up to one Tbsp. light butter if you would like)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Remove white papery skin from garlic heads (do not peel or separate the cloves).  
Wrap each head separately in foil.  
Bake at 350 for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes.
Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp & discard the skins.

In the meantime, place potato and onion in a saucepan.
Cover with water and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 min. or until potatoes are tender.
Drain in a colander over a measuring cup or bowl, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid.
Combine garlic, potato mixture, 1/4 cup cooking liquid, light sour cream, rosemary, salt & freshly ground pepper.
Mash with a fork or large spoon.
If you have a hand mixer, mix until it is at your desired consistency.

  Mmmm, Mmmm Good!
