Ingredients

• 2 lbs Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces) to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a large pinch of salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth.

Step 7

Stir in the sautéed garlic butter, low-fat yogurt, and chicken or vegetable broth. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 8

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust consistency with additional broth if needed.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
