Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized potatoes
- 0.5 cup low-fat sour cream
- 0.25 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1 inch in size.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill it with enough water to cover them by about an inch.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and allow the potatoes to cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the low-fat sour cream, fat-free Greek yogurt, and low-fat milk until smooth and well combined.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot to help evaporate any remaining moisture.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Gradually stir the sour cream mixture into the mashed potatoes, incorporating it completely.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, adjusting to taste.
Fold in the chopped chives, reserving a little for garnish if desired.
Serve the creamy potatoes hot, garnished with the remaining chives, and enjoy!
