Light Mashed Red Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

15 -18 small red potatoes, leave skin intact
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation

Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add the potatoes, 2 teaspoons of salt, and pepper and leave to a roiling boil for approximately 25 minutes or until fork tender. Strain the potatoes, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.
Return potatoes to the stockpot and mash lightly with a potato masher adding the reserved liquid, milk, remaining 1 teaspoons of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine-being careful not to over-mash. At the last, fold in the melted butter and serve immediately.
