Heart Healthy Mashed Potatoes

Here is a tasty recipe that is both easy to make and delicious. The garlic is a natural remedy for lowering harmful cholesterol, or LDL, states the Mayo Clinic.

1 medium-sized potato, peeled and cubed
1 thin slice red or yellow onion
1 teaspoon butter or Omega-3 enriched margarine
2-3 tablespoons plain yogurt
garlic powder

Place vegetables into steamer. Steam about 8 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and place into mixing bowl (or...into serving dish). Mash potatoes. Add in butter and yogurt as you reach your desired consistency. Sprinkle garlic powder in to taste.

Serve warm.

This recipe can also be made with the potato peels, if you desire. It is great with red potatoes. :)
