Garlic brings its rich, slightly sweet flavor to these mashed potatoes.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
6 medium sweet potatoes 2-4 sprigs rosemary and thyme 5 garlic cloves 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 6 (48 oz) cups chicken broth, low-sodium 4 Tbsp margarine ½ cup sour cream, fat-free ½ (4 oz) cup skim milk
Peel and quarter sweet potatoes. Place in a large saucepan with a couple of sprigs of rosemary and fresh thyme. Add garlic, salt, pepper and chicken broth to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15-18 minutes. Drain excess liquid from potatoes and mash lightly with a fork. Add butter, sour cream, and milk. Cream with a hand mixer on low speed, leaving sweet potatoes slightly chunky. Enjoy!
