Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat regular milk)
• 0.25 cups Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces) to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes on low heat to evaporate excess moisture.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth. Alternatively, for extra creaminess, use a hand mixer or potato ricer.

Step 7

Gradually mix in the unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk), non-fat Greek yogurt, and sautéed garlic. Stir until well combined and creamy.

Step 8

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Add more milk if a creamier texture is desired.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your light, flavorful Low Fat Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes!
