Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1.5 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain and non-fat
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Chives, chopped
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the sautéed garlic, low-sodium vegetable broth, and Greek yogurt to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a little more broth if necessary.
Stir in the chopped chives, low-fat cheddar cheese, black pepper, and salt until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika for a hint of color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy loaded mashed potatoes!
