Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, heat the low-sodium chicken broth over low heat and add the minced garlic. Allow the garlic to simmer in the broth for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes well and return them to the pot.

Step 5

Pour the garlic-infused chicken broth over the potatoes. Use a potato masher to begin mashing the potatoes, incorporating the broth.

Step 6

Add the fat-free Greek yogurt to the potatoes and continue mashing until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more broth if desired.

Step 7

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Chop the chives finely and sprinkle them over the mashed potatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Serve the low-fat garlic mashed potatoes warm as a delicious side dish.
