Mashed Potatoes (with Peel)
Mashed potatoes with peel and a little Greek yogurt are easy and tasty, and do contribute to the nutrition in a meal. Comfort food at its best!
Ingredients
- Thin skinned white or yellow potatoes Yukon Golds are ideal
- Plain Greek Yogurt I prefer whole milk
Instructions
- Cut potatoes in small pieces. Place in saucepan with water, bring to a boil. Simmer 5-10 minutes, until tender. (Timing will vary.)
- Drain. Use a potato masher (or a fork, if you don't have a masher) to mash them until crumbly.
- 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.
- 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.
