    These Skinny Mashed Potatoes are made with creamy Greek yogurt and chicken broth. A skinnier version but still full of flavor with a creamy texture.

    Side Dish Recipe:

    If you love mashed potatoes as much as I do you just have to do them skinny some times. Yes, my favorite recipe is this one, The World's Best Mashed Potatoes. But I call those my holiday potatoes.

    You just have to have people to share them with or you may end up eating them all by yourself! They are that good.

    This recipe for Skinny Mashed Potatoes is also really yummy and better for you. 

    How to make Skinny Mashed Potatoes:

    Step one: Get started by peeling and dicing potatoes then place in a large pot. Cover with water and cook on medium/high heat until boiling. Allow potatoes to cook until tender.

    Step two: Once potatoes are tender turn off the burner, drain potatoes, and return to pot. Add greek yogurt (or light sour cream), skim milk, and chicken broth.

    • Tip: If you are not a fan of greek yogurt I would suggest using light sour cream.

    Step three: Mash until you have your desired texture. For a creamier mashed potato use a hand mixer to mash potatoes and add more broth (or add more skim milk) as needed.

    Step four: Add all seasonings to taste to potatoes and mix until well combined.

    What makes these Skinny Mashed Potatoes?

    For these mashed potatoes I skipped the butter and heavy full fat milk and to get them creamy I instead used plain Greek yogurt, skim milk, and chicken broth.

    I used seasoning salt to bring out more flavor with my seasonings.

    When you are skipping the butter you might need a little something to bring out the flavors.

    You can add more yogurt, milk,  or broth as needed to get these potatoes as creamy as you like them.
