Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk plus more as needed
- 2 Tablespoons butter plus more for topping
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt 2% or 5%
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh chives for topping
Instructions
- Place chopped potatoes in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and heat until water is boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and add back to pot.
- Add milk, butter, Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher or fork until you reach your desired texture, adding more almond milk if needed. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender or mixer.
- Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if preferred. Transfer to a bowl, top with chives and additional butter and serve.
Notes
- Peeling the potatoes - I recommend peeling the potatoes for a smooth consistency but if you like more rustic mashed potatoes you can leave the skin on.
