Ingredients
  

  • Thin skinned white or yellow potatoes Yukon Golds are ideal
  • Plain Greek Yogurt I prefer whole milk

Method
 

  1. Cut potatoes in small pieces. Place in saucepan with water, bring to a boil. Simmer 5-10 minutes, until tender. (Timing will vary.)
  2. Drain. Use a potato masher (or a fork, if you don't have a masher) to mash them until crumbly.
  3. Then add Greek yogurt, one spoonful at a time, mashing in between, until the potatoes start to get creamy and fluffy. Continue until you reach the desired texture.
  4. Serve at once.

Notes

The exact time it takes to cook and mash will vary with different potatoes - type, time of year, and so on. Equally, the amount of yogurt needed will vary by the moisture of the potato and the texture you want.
