How to Make Cream-Like Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

2 pounds potatoes
¾ cup plain, nonfat yogurt
¼ cup skim milk
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon nonfat Parmesan Cheese (Optional)

Instructions:

Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Rinse well. Cook them in boiling water for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Add the yogurt, milk, Dijon, pepper, and lemon juice. Mash well with a potato masher, leaving no lumps. For a drier or creamier texture, adjust the amount of milk. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes and serve. This recipe makes four servings.

Here is an insider tip you need to know:

  • Try Yukon Gold potatoes ($4.99 for a 5-pound bag) instead of russet potatoes ($3.99 for a 5-pound bag). Yukon Gold potatoes have a creamy texture and yellow flesh. When whipped with a bit of yogurt you won’t miss the butter and heavy cream.
