Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 65 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) shallots, minced
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) olive oil
• 0.5 Cups chicken broth, low-fat/low-sodium
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) fresh thyme, minced
• 3 Small Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
• 0.5 Cups evaporated skim milk
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a small casserole dish, combine the minced shallots, olive oil, chicken broth, fresh thyme, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Cover the dish with foil and roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the shallots are very soft and caramelized.
3. While the shallots are roasting, place the peeled and quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for a few minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
5. In a small saucepan, gently heat the evaporated skim milk over medium-low heat until warm.
6. Add the warm milk to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
7. Fold in the roasted shallots and any remaining liquid from the casserole dish. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh thyme for an elegant touch.
