Always a welcome dinner guest, this version of everyone's favorite mash is healthier than the original sour cream-laden version.

Ingredient List

  • 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled if desired
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • Dash sweet (Hungarian) paprika

Preparation

  1. Cut potatoes into 2-inch chunks and place in a 3-quart saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover potatoes. Add garlic cloves. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and garlic by pouring off as much water as possible (okay if a little remains in pot).
  2. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to evaporate remaining water. Add warmed milk to potatoes and mash mixture with a potato masher. Add butter, salt, and pepper and finish mashing to desired texture (an electric hand mixer will whip the potatoes to a fluffier texture). Remove from heat and gently stir in yoghurt until mixed through. Garnish with fresh chopped chives and sprinkle with paprika. Serve immediately.
