Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 russet potatoes peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup butter
- 3 tbsp milk or more as desired
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup grated white cheddar cheese divided
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot, then fill the pot with water so that it covers the potatoes by one inch. Bring them to a boil and continue boiling until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain, then place the potatoes back in the pot.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, then add softened butter and milk and mash with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, white cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese together on low speed until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add the Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, and pepper and mix again.
- Mix the cheese mixture into mashed potatoes until just combined making sure not to overmix so the potato texture doesn’t become gummy.
- Garnish with fresh chives and more black pepper if desired. Enjoy!
