Saffron Mashed Potatoes

Recipe courtesy of akayf

• 1 lb potatoes, cut into chunks
• 1 garlic clove, peeled
• 1 tsp saffron threads, crushed
• 5 cups chicken or vegetable stock (I’ve used broth when I don’t have stock in the house)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 cup skim milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Put potatoes, garlic, and saffron in a large pan.  Add stock and bring to a boil.  Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.

Drain the potatoes and return the contents of the strainer to pan.  Add olive oil and milk and mash until smooth.   Add salt and pepper to taste.
