Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Light butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 slices Turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
Mix in the low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, light butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until creamy and combined.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.
Scatter the crumbled turkey bacon and sliced green onions over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your lightened-up, loaded mashed potato casserole!
