Garlic, Sour Cream, & Chive Mashed Potatoes

I love mashed potatoes and was trying to come up with a light alternative and this is what happened:

Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt (I use sea salt)
1 T butter (I use regular butter with salt)
1/4 C sour cream (I use regular)
1 T freeze-dried chives
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Clean and peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Peel garlic cloves and cut off stumpy end. Boil potatoes and cloves in water (enough to cover them) with olive oil until a fork easily pierces potatoes. Drain but reserve 1 C of the liquid.

Mash potatoes and garlic together (by hand works best). Continue mashing while adding sour cream, butter, and reserved liquid until at desired consistency. Add salt, pepper, and chives.
