Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 cloves Garlic, cloves peeled and minced
• 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Skim milk
• 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow the steam to escape for a minute to help them dry out slightly.

Step 5

Add the sautéed garlic with olive oil, vegetable broth, skim milk, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, and optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives for a touch of color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm.
