Total Calories: 271

Ingredients

1 bulb of garlic
6 medium red potatoes or white potatoes (2 pounds)
1 medium sweet potato or yam
1/3-1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°. Peel paperlike skin from garlic bulb, leaving just enough to hold cloves of garlic together. Cut ¼-inch slice from top of bulb to expose cloves. Place cut side up on 12-inch square of aluminum foil wrap securely in foil. Place in pie plate or shallow baking pan. Bake about 30 minutes or until garlic is tender when pierced with toothpick or fork. Let stand until cool enough to handle.

2. While garlic is baking, place red or white potatoes and sweet potato in 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until tender drain.

3. Peel sweet potato leave skins on red or white potatoes if desired. Gently squeeze soft garlic out of cloves into potatoes. Mash potatoes and garlic in pan until no lumps remain. Add milk in small amounts, mashing after each addition.

4. Add butter, salt and pepper. Mash vigorously until light and fluffy. (If running low on energy, blend all ingredients in a food processor.)

"Easy to eat, these tasty potatoes go down easily, even when chewing and swallowing become a chore. If garlic bothers you, omit it from the recipe." ---Dr. Ghosh
