Ingredients

• 2 lb Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 head Garlic
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or fat-free)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap it tightly. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, peel and chop the potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot 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 5

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute or two to let any residual moisture evaporate.

Step 6

Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins and into a small bowl. Mash them with a fork until smooth.

Step 7

In the pot with the potatoes, add the mashed roasted garlic, Greek yogurt, butter, and vegetable broth. Use a potato masher or an electric hand mixer to mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

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