Serving kids? Give them just one bite to start. If they like these potatoes, let them ask for more! Power struggle = over.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 ounces Yukon gold potatoes (about 8 medium)
  • 4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt & pepper
  • Optional: 1 bag frozen riced cauliflower

Instructions

  1. Dice potatoes into 1 inch pieces, or quarter each potato. Smaller pieces will cook faster.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with two inches of water. (If using riced cauliflower, add here and follow remaining instructions.) Add 1 tablespoon of water. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. Use a mug or liquid measuring cup to scoop 1/2 cup of cooking water from the pot.
  5. Drain the remaining water.
  6. Using the same pot, combine cooked potatoes (and cauliflower if using) with Greek yogurt and butter. Mash gently, pouring your reserved cooking water into the pot as needed.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
