Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
• 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, prepare the toppings: cook the turkey bacon until crispy and crumble it, chop the green onions, and shred the cheese if not pre-shredded.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the low sodium chicken broth, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, unsalted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.

Step 7

Use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, while incorporating the added ingredients.

Step 8

Gently fold in the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese, keeping a small handful aside for garnish.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with the crumbled turkey bacon, the remaining cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, low fat loaded mashed potatoes!
