Garlic and buttermilk combine to make these mashed potatoes so luscious you won't even notice they don't have a drop of fat!

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Wrap garlic in foil and bake 30 minutes or until soft. When cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic from skin; set aside.

In large pot, combine potatoes, 1 3/4 cups water, bay leaf and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and cook 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Discard bay leaf.

With potato masher or beater, mash potatoes with garlic, buttermilk and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Thin with reserve cooking liquid as needed.
