Greek yogurt in mashed potatoes made with almond milk are insanely good and healthy

Whether you are looking for a weeknight side dish or something to bring to Thanksgiving dinner, my Greek yogurt mashed potatoes, made with almond milk, will surely please the whole crowd. You cannot even tell that these mashed potatoes are healthy. They taste amazing and are very creamy.

Potatoes are actually one of my favorite cuisines. Some of my favorites include air fryer baby potatoes, French fries (obviously), scalloped potatoes, or, if you want to be a little tricky, you can make radishes taste like potatoes. No matter the potato, I love them!

This mashed potatoes recipe is super simple and makes some healthier swaps for your classic mashed potatoes ingredients.

FAQs

What if I am allergic to nuts? If you are allergic to nuts, you can skip the almond milk and just make Greek yogurt mashed potatoes. Use a different type of milk, such as skim milk, instead.

Do I need to leave the skin on? No, you do not need to leave the skin on. I typically prefer mine without skin; however, I decided to switch it up for once.

These are made with yogurt; however, I promise you do not taste the greek yogurt in these mashed potatoes. We will be seasoning the potatoes and making them taste great. My friends and family have all tried this and would never know. But, I guess now they will.

Can I do different flavor combinations? Of course you can! I prefer either an Italian-ish style, rosemary flavor or a green onion flavor with lots of garlic. However, if there is another flavor you love, go ahead and try that!

Essential Ingredients

All you need is a pot big enough to boil your potatoes and a stovetop.

  • Potatoes
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Almond Milk
  • Margarine
  • Seasonings
Potatoes

These are your classic, russet potatoes. In general, for every pound of potatoes, you will need:

  • ¼ cup yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons of seasoning
Greek Yogurt

These are made with yogurt; however, I promise you do not taste the greek yogurt in these mashed potatoes. We will be seasoning the potatoes and making them taste great. My friends and family have all tried this and would never know. But, I guess now they will.

But, if you are really against the Greek yogurt, try swapping in some light sour cream.

Almond Milk

What if I am allergic to nuts? If you are allergic to nuts, you can skip the almond milk and just make Greek yogurt mashed potatoes. Use a different type of milk, such as skim milk, instead.

Margarine

Yes, I love margarine. I have always been a tried and true I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Fan. I specifically like this light olive oil one; however, you can substitute a different margarine or a butter.

Seasonings

Can I do different flavor combinations? Of course you can! I prefer either an Italian-ish style, rosemary flavor or a green onion flavor with lots of garlic. However, if there is another flavor you love, go ahead and try that!

But, what is also really good is making a loaded mashed potato.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes

Be sure to thoroughly wash your potatoes before beginning. Peel the potatoes, if desired. Then, cut the potatoes into one-inch cubes.

cut potatoes

Bring a pot of water, big enough for the potatoes, to a boil on the stove top. Once boiling, add in the potatoes and cook until done. It should take about 20 minutes and they should come out fork tender.

Drain the potatoes then, add then back into the empty pot. Add the remaining ingredients, yogurt, milk, margarine, salt and seasonings.

adding all the ingredients

Continue to stir and mash the potatoes until everything is combined and creamy. I used this meat chopper.

These greek yogurt mashed potatoes are perfect with my crock pot Mississippi chicken or copycat KFC bowl.
