- 120 ml (½ cup) milk
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

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.
