Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
• 0.25 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, roughly 1.5 inches.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the low-sodium chicken broth and low-fat milk. Heat gently until warm but not boiling, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Using a potato masher, begin mashing the potatoes in the pot. Gradually add the warmed broth and milk mixture while mashing to reach your desired level of creaminess.

Step 7

Stir in the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until well mixed.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chives if using.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite meal.
