1 ¹⁄₂ lbs idaho potatoes, cut into eighths
1 medium leek, white part only, washed and chopped
2 garlic cloves, sliced
¹⁄₂ cup chicken broth
³⁄₄ cup reduced-fat buttermilk
2 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons butter

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 17 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to the saucepan. Mash until fairly smooth.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the leek, garlic, and broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Drain. Stir in the buttermilk, butter, salt, and pepper. Warm gently over medium heat, stirring often, for 2 minutes, or until the butter melts. Add to the potatoes and stir until well combined.

Sometimes, in a pinch, I reach for the packaged potato mix, but it is so nice to take the time & prepare a nice potato dish from scratch, as I did when using your recipe! I pretty much followed it & chopped the leek pretty small, but I did add a 3rd clove of garlic & used lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! Many thanks for posting the recipe!

I'm a food junky. I also work very hard to eat a healthy varied diet. Almost every weekend i'll spend several hours experimenting to make a delicious nutritious new handful of recipes. When i'm not cooking i'm looking for the next hiking/camping/ backpacking/kayaking trip to take. I swear I'm solar powered. I have a beautiful dog who accompanies me on nearly all trips. I also have a wonderful husband whome holds down the fort until my return. My poor hubby does not have a healthy food palate. He provides me plenty of challenge trying to find healthier (but not obviously) savory foods.
