Shani's Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

Last night the hubby, the kids and I had a yummy family dinner that consisted of lobster tails, garlic mashed red potatoes and sautéed squash and zucchini. My potatoes weren’t your average mashed potatoes; I of course had to add a Shani spin on them.

I hope you enjoy as much as my family did.

Ingredients

6 medium-large Red Potatoes
4 tablespoons of Melted Butter
2 tablespoons of Minced Garlic
1 cup of Yogurt Sauce (directions below)
2 teaspoons of Sea Salt
1 teaspoon of pepper

Directions

Cut the potatoes into fours, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sea salt in water. Boil in a large pot on high until soft.
Boil garlic in a small saucepan, sprinkle one teaspoon of sea salt in water.
Drain potatoes and garlic.
In a large bowl add unpeeled potatoes, butter, garlic, pepper and yogurt sauce. Mash until you reach your desired consistency. Enjoy
