Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes (with Lemon & Feta)
These Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes are the perfect complement to lamb, ham, beef or poultry. These tangy lemon mashed potatoes with feta cheese will have everybody going back for a second helping!
Ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 ½ pounds russet potatoes peeled, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup whole milk warmed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese plus additional for garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Instructions
- Place garlic and potatoes in large pot and add just enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- When potatoes are tender, drain well and return to pot over low heat (including garlic). Use potato masher to mash until smooth. Add yogurt, milk, butter, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir until well combined and butter is melted. Fold in cheese, lemon juice, oregano and lemon zest.
- Serve garnished with additional cheese.
Notes
- Home Chef Tip: There's lot of ways to mash or whip potatoes, but we used an electric mixer in culinary school for the smoothest, creamiest texture. Just make sure not to overmix! Be sure to get the yogurt, milk, butter, salt and pepper into the mixer with the drained potatoes before you start mixing, so you can limit your mixing time. Then, use just a spatula to fold in the lemon juice, oregano and lemon zest.
