Garic Mashed Red Potatoes

I found this recipe making dinner in college of Fillet Mignon, Asparagus, and potatoes.  The recipe only makes one serving, so increase based on number of people or servings necessary.

Ingredients
1/2  pound  small red potatoes, quartered
1  teaspoon  butter
1  garlic clove, minced
3  tablespoons  fat-free milk
1/8  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

1. Place potatoes in a small saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 13 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2. Combine butter and minced garlic in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 30 seconds or until butter melts. 
3. Add potatoes, milk, and salt. Mash mixture with a potato masher or fork to desired consistency.
