Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds scrubbed, unpeeled thin skinned potatoes (Yukon golds if possible). sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 large cloves garlic
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 cup or more lowfat or nonfat buttermilk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the potato slices and garlic in water to cover until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
