This seven-ingredient garlic mashed potato recipe takes less than 20 minutes to make and packs a punch of flavour, thanks to a heavy dose of fresh garlic and a handful of fresh chopped parsley. We boiled the garlic with the potatoes so the softened cloves would infuse a deep garlic flavour throughout the potatoes when they're mashed. Idaho potatoes have a fluffy, creamy, and soft texture and are perfect for mashing, but you can also use red potatoes—unpeeled for colour—or Yukon Golds—for a natural buttery flavour. Feel free to swap plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream, if you prefer.
