Healthy Mashed Potatoes

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

3 lbs. russet potatoes (rinsed and quartered)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (divided)

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

1/4 cup butter (plus more for serving)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme (minced)

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)

1 cup 2% milk

Directions

Place the quartered potatoes into a large pot and fully submerge them with water. Add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir.

Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil over medium/high heat. Boil for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Once tender, strain the potatoes and place them back into the pot. Add the remaining salt, pepper, yogurt, butter, and herbs. Use an electric mixer (for smoother mashed potatoes) or potato masher (for chunkier mashed potatoes) to mash potatoes.

Slowly stir in the milk, a little bit at a time, until you’ve reached the desired consistency.

Top with additional butter, if desired, and enjoy.
