Level of Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (gives better texture and moisture)
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary (freshly chopped for best flavor and aroma)
  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces, ensures even cooking)
  • 2 tbsp butter (I prefer Kerrygold unsalted butter for this)

Step 1: Prepare and Boil the Potatoes

If desired, start by peeling the potatoes.

Chop them into one-inch pieces for even cooking.

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water.

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once the water is boiling, continue to boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender.

Step 2: Drain and Mash the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and transfer them to a large bowl.

Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes thoroughly until they reach your desired consistency.

Step 3: Add Flavorings and Mix

To the mashed potatoes, add Greek yogurt, milk, and your choice of butter or olive oil.

Sprinkle in some salt and rosemary to taste.

Mash or stir everything together until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the potatoes are creamy and smooth.

Step 4: Serve or Store

Serve the mashed potatoes immediately while hot, and enjoy!

Alternatively, you can prepare this dish up to 24 hours in advance and reheat it prior to serving.

If reheating, do so gently to maintain the creamy texture.
