Ingredients

  • 3 cups cubed (1 to 1 1/2 inch) unpeeled potatoes (1 1/4 lb)
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1/4 cup shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese (1 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free (skim) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white or black pepper
  • 2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)

Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, place potatoes and enough water to cover. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes.
  • 2
    In same saucepan or large bowl, mash hot potatoes. Beat in yogurt, cheese, milk, salt and pepper with electric mixer on low speed until light and fluffy. Stir in onions.

  • Russet potatoes are the go-to for mashed potatoes because they’re starchy and fall apart easily during cooking.
  • Use a good potato masher with a strong handle (the type with a flat metal grid-like masher) to smash your potatoes quickly and evenly.
  • When making homemade mashed potatoes with skin, look for nice, firm potatoes that don’t have green spots or “eyes” growing out of them.
