Yield: 6 Servings 1x
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 25 mins
- Total Time: 35 mins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Garnish with fresh thyme and chives
Instructions
- Place the potatoes only (hold off on the cauliflower for now) to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and let the potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Add in the cauliflower florets and continue to simmer for an additional 8 to 9 minutes, until cauliflower and potatoes are soft and fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and cauliflower then add them back into the pot they were cooked in. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or blend everything using an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer) until you get a nice creamy texture. I personally prefer to use a hand mixer as it really gets the potatoes perfectly fluffy!
- Transfer mashed potatoes to a bowl, taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, and garnish with fresh thyme and chives. Enjoy!
