Instructions

  1. Place chopped potatoes in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and heat until water is boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain potatoes and add back to pot.
  3. Add milk, butter, Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher or fork until you reach your desired texture, adding more almond milk if needed. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender or mixer.
  4. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if preferred. Transfer to a bowl, top with chives and additional butter and serve.

Notes

  • Peeling the potatoes - I recommend peeling the potatoes for a smooth consistency but if you like more rustic mashed potatoes you can leave the skin on.
