Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes with Garlic


Mashed potatoes are a classic and beloved side dish, but they’re often loaded with butter and cream, making them high in calories and fat. But fear not, for there is a healthier and just as delicious alternative – mashed potatoes made with Greek yogurt!

Greek yogurt is a versatile ingredient that not only adds a tangy flavor to your mashed potatoes, but also provides a creamy texture without all the added fat. Here’s how to make it:

Mashed potatoes are a classic and beloved side dish, but they're often loaded with butter and cream, making them high in calories and fat.

Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes at Thanksgiving and I could probably eat them as a side dish for dinner every night.  Now that they are zero points on the myWW purple plan, I was determined to make a zero-point mashed potato recipe with dairy in it. Now that I can eat dairy again after discovering it was the artificial sweeteners giving me the digestion problems,  I’ve been eating ALL the dairy. To make these mashed potatoes zero points, I used plain non-fat Greek yogurt and 1% milk. Any extra toppings you add on the potatoes you have to count of course. 

Mashed potatoes aren’t only just for Thanksgiving. They can be a side dish at any time of the year. I love making mock KFC bowls with mashed potatoes. A mock KFC bowl is simply mashed potatoes, corn,  gravy, and chicken. So good. 

Other great potato side dishes to try are Cheesy Hashbrown Potato Casserole aka Funeral Potatoes or Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes.
