Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Start with 2 pounds of cleaned and rinsed baby red potatoes.

In a pot, add 1.5 quarts of cold water and the potatoes.

Turn on the heat to bring the water to a boil.

Add 1 mashed clove of garlic and 1.5 tablespoons of salt to the water.

Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes until fork-tender, or longer for a mushier texture.

Drain the water from the potatoes and turn the heat on low to melt the butter.

Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Continue melting the butter in the pot.

Smash the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon until you achieve a creamy yet chunky texture.

Add 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped chives to the potatoes.

Serve the potatoes.
