Creamy Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cloves crushed garlic
4 medium-sized all-purpose potatoes, peeled and thin sliced
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp. margarine
1/2 c. buttermilk
3 Tbsp. plain low-fat yogurt

Preparation

In a medium-size heavy saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add garlic, potatoes and bay leaf.
Cook, partially covered, over moderate heat until potatoes are \"fork tender\" (reserving 3 tablespoons cooking water).
Discard bay leaf, transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Add margarine, buttermilk and yogurt.
Beat with a mixer, then add just enough of the reserved water to make the potatoes creamy.
