Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches each). This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, warm the chicken or vegetable broth and almond milk over low heat. Do not let it boil; just warm it enough to blend smoothly into the potatoes.
Step 6
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer on low speed until they are mostly smooth (a few small lumps are fine for texture).
Step 7
Slowly add the warm broth and almond milk mixture to the potatoes while continuing to mash or mix. Add it in small increments to reach your desired consistency.
Step 8
Fold in the fat-free Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and the potatoes are creamy and smooth.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy your velvety, WW-friendly potatoes!
