Instructions
STOVETOP:
- Peel and chop the 5-6 medium Russet potatoes into big chunks. Place them into a large soup pot and cover with water.
- Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are for tender, about 15 minutes.
- Carefully drain the potatoes, keeping them in the same pot. Add in the remaining ingredients. These are: 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2-2/3 cup skim milk, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon dried chives, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon onion powder.
- Using a potato masher, mash until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Garnish with Fresh chives if needed. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- To ensure evenly cooked potatoes, be sure to cut them into similar size cubes. Smaller cubes mean less cooking time.
- Season your water well. Adding a good amount of salt to the potatoes as they boil means not as much salt will be needed once you mash.
- Make sure to drain the potatoes well, this will give you a creamy mash that's not watery.
- You can mix different potatoes for a twist on the texture.
- For the extra smooth mash, warm the milk before mixing it with the potatoes. These allow the milk to be absorbed better, giving you smooth mashed potatoes.
- Invest in a ricer for restaurant-quality mash. Running the potatoes through a ricer before mashing will give you that velvety, smooth consistency!
- Top with herbs and chopped green onion.
