Parmesan-mustard Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients for 1 servings:
1. 4 large red potatoes or 4 large yukon gold potatoes, about 3 pounds
2. 1 1/4 cups whole milk or 1 1/4 cups 2% milk
3. 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
5. 2 tablespoons dijon grainy mustard, divided
6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
7. 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
8. 1 1/2 cups grated padano cheese or 1 1/2 cups white cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. If using red potatoes, scrub skins off: DO NOT PEEL; then cut potatoes into quarters.
2. If using Yukon Gold potatoes, peel and cut into chunks.
3. Place potatoes in a large saucepan or cooking pot, cover with water and bring to boil on high-heat.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently, partially covered, until fork-tender; 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, pour 1 1/4 cups of milk into a 4 cup microwave safe measuring cup.
6. Add sour cream, garlic, 1 tablespoon of mustard, salt and pepper.
7. Whisk until mustard is well blended.
8. Microwave on HIGH (full power) until hot, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring half way through.
9. Drain water from cooked potatoes and discard.
10. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and place on the hot burner and stir potatoes until the liquid evaporates.
11. Turn burner off and mash potatoes using a potato masher.
12. Stir in enough hot milk mixture to make potatoes creamy.
13. Stir in cheese and mix well until melted and blended.
14. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and mix well to incorporate.
15. Adust seasonings to taste.

18. This recipe doubles well.
