Make fluffy, creamy mashed potatoes that taste rich but use less fat and fewer calories by substituting some of the cream with Greek yogurt and vegetable broth. Dijon mustard adds a sharp flavor boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup skim milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely. Return the drained potatoes to the hot, empty pot and let them sit for one minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the potatoes and mash them coarsely with a potato masher.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently warm the vegetable broth and skim milk together. Do not boil.
  6. Gradually add the warm broth and milk mixture to the potatoes while continuing to mash until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

  • For an even lighter texture, substitute half of the potatoes with an equal weight of steamed cauliflower florets before mashing.
  • Using a potato ricer instead of a masher will give you the fluffiest texture possible.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder along with the salt and pepper.
