About This Calculation

Garlic Smashed Potatoes has a medium glycemic load of 13.6 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.

The primary glycemic load contributors are baby Yukon Gold potatoes (GL 13.6), garlic (GL 0.1). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
