Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons light butter
• 0.25 cups plain Greek yogurt (nonfat)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons optional chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the red potatoes, leaving the skins on for added texture and nutrients.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Add the chopped potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and add them to the pot with the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, then return them to the hot pot to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 7

Add the low-fat milk, light butter, and Greek yogurt to the pot with the potatoes and garlic.

Step 8

Use a potato masher to mash the mixture until you reach your desired consistency – smooth or slightly chunky.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste, and gently stir to combine.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, healthy garlic mashed red potatoes!
