Garlic mashed potatoes

This is a great winter time recipe. And the best part is you can use the leftovers to make great potatoes patties! I have been thinking about doing a version with some parsnips and a little bit of ginger, thoughts?

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

6-8 medium potatoes
1/4 cup fat free butter milk
1 cup whole milk
8 cloves garlic
salt
pepper


Peel and slice potatoes into 1/4 inch cubes. Place cubes in pot and bring to a boil for 20 minuets. Dice 8 cloves of garlic and add to buttermilk and whole milk. Bring milk and garlic mixture to a barley heat through. Keep a close eye and make sure the milk does not curdle. Once potatoes yield to a paring knife mash slightly and add milk mixture a little bit at a time mashing between each addition. EIther keep the potatoes texture lumpy or take them to a hand mixer for a smooth and creamy texture.
