James's Garlic Cheese Mashed Potatoes

4 medium russet potatoes
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup low fat milk or 1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill 1/2 way with water. Add the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 35 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Drain the potatoes and mash until all the potatoes have been broken. Add the sour cream, margarine, milk or cream, garlic powder and cheese. With a hand mixer, mix on low speed, over low heat, about 1 minute, then whip the potatoes on high speed about 30 seconds or until fine or creamy texture is achieved.

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.
