Healthy And Creamy Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes
Description
Healthy And Creamy Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes start with peeling and boiling cubed potatoes until they are very soft. Hot milk is gradually mixed in during mashing to achieve a smooth, cohesive texture. Extra virgin olive oil adds a fruity richness while Greek yogurt provides creaminess with a gentle tang. Garlic and nutmeg, if used, give warmth and depth to the mild flavor of the potatoes. Seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper adjusts the final taste.
The mashing method employs an electric mixer on low speed to ensure a lump-free, fluffy consistency while controlling liquid absorption. Serving with optional chopped chives adds fresh color and a mild onion flavor contrast.
This recipe offers a comforting side dish option that balances indulgence with some lightness by substituting creamy dairy with protein-rich Greek yogurt. The natural texture of Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes supports smooth mashing without excess wateriness.
Ingredients
- 1 kilogram (2.2 pound) Yukon Gold potato or Russet potato
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 120 ml (½ cup) milk

- OPTIONAL: chives to serve with, finely chopped
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes to large cubes.
- Add to a medium-sized cooking pot and cover with water. Season with a bit of salt.

- Heat the milk until steamy hot and set aside.
- Drain potatoes in a strainer. Then transfer back to the pot or in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash potatoes using an electric hand mixer starting with low speed. Pour in the hot milk slowly. Then the garlic, olive oil, nutmeg, and finally the Greek yogurt.
- Season with salt and pepper and taste to see if they need any additional seasoning.
- Serve warm with freshly ground pepper on top.
