Greek Yogurt Mashed Potato Recipe
Creamy Greek yogurt mashed potatoes with Yukon Gold potatoes, full-fat Greek yogurt, butter, garlic, and milk.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled & cut into 2" chunks
- 4 garlic cloves halved
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt divided
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup milk warmed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt inside a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to medium and cook covered until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20–25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander and return them to the pot. Add the Greek yogurt, butter, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper. While the potatoes are still hot, mash them with a fork, potato masher, or electric beaters.
- Gradually add the milk while you continue to mash until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve warm and top with more butter and black pepper, if desired.

Notes
My Top Tip: Mash just until combined. If you over-mash the potatoes, they can get gluey. I recommend a hand masher so you have more control!
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat, adding a small amount of milk or Greek yogurt to make them creamy again. You can also reheat them in the microwave, stirring at 30-second intervals.
Freezing: I don't recommend freezing mashed potatoes. They get watery and lose their creamy consistency when thawed. Try using leftover mashed potatoes in other dishes, like shepherd's pie or a Lebanese-style omelette. Read more ideas for recipes to make with mashed potatoes!
