Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes
Description
The recipe involves boiling peeled Yukon gold potato chunks and garlic cloves with salt until fork-tender. After draining, the potatoes and roasted garlic are mashed with Greek yogurt, butter, and black pepper. Warm milk is gradually added to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency while maintaining a hearty texture typical of mashed potatoes. Seasoning is adjusted by taste to enhance the flavors without overwhelming the mild potato base.
Yukon gold potatoes provide a buttery, creamy texture when cooked properly, complementing the tangy Greek yogurt. These mashed potatoes can be served as a side dish to a wide variety of meals, offering a fresher, lighter alternative to traditional cream-based mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potato peeled & cut into 2" chunks, Yukon gold variety
- 4 garlic halved, cloves
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt divided
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk warmed
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt inside a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to medium and cook covered until the potatoes are fork tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander and return them to the pot. Add the Greek yogurt, butter, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper while the potatoes are still hot and use a fork, masher or electric beaters to mash the potatoes.
- Gradually add the milk while you continue to mash until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve warm and top with more butter and black pepper, if desired.
