Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches each). This ensures even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
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.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
In a small saucepan, warm the chicken or vegetable broth and almond milk over low heat. Do not let it boil; just warm it enough to blend smoothly into the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer on low speed until they are mostly smooth (a few small lumps are fine for texture).
Slowly add the warm broth and almond milk mixture to the potatoes while continuing to mash or mix. Add it in small increments to reach your desired consistency.
Fold in the fat-free Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and the potatoes are creamy and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy your velvety, WW-friendly potatoes!
