Warm Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Here I present my recipe for Warm Garlic Mashed Potatoes; a recipe for light, fluffy mashed potatoes that are kind to your waistline and have an intense garlic flavour, thanks to the infused olive oil and butter 🙂

So the Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone. My sister hosted again and she did a phenomenal job. She didn’t even accept help with the dishes!!!

So now on to Christmas 🎄

We’re hosting Christmas and there will be 11 of us.

That spells turkey.

With these potatoes!

I’m going to double the recipe and keep them warm on the stovetop while Mike carves the turkey.

We’ll have:
