Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other low-fat milk)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes if desired (leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients). Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the potato cubes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. 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 garlic in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes so any excess moisture evaporates.
Add the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, prepared horseradish, and almond milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash everything together until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer creamier potatoes, add a tablespoon or two of additional almond milk.
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly.
Transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, if desired, for added color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy this tangy, low-fat take on classic smashed potatoes!
