Adding cauliflower and Greek yogurt helps reduce calories and fat while keeping the potatoes creamy. Just be sure not to over whip the potatoes or they’ll take on a paste-like texture.

  • Russet potato, 2 medium, peeled and cut into medium-sized chunks
  • Cauliflower, 1 head(s), medium, cut into 1-inch florets
  • Thyme, fresh, ½ tsp(s), finely chopped
  • Unsalted butter, 1 tbsp(s)
  • Non-fat plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup(s)
  • Salt, 1½ tsp(s)
  • Garlic powder, ½ tsp(s)
  • Black pepper, 1 dash(es)

Method

Bring water to a boil in two smaller pots or medium saucepans. Boil potatoes and cauliflower in separate pots until tender when stabbed with a fork, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.

Place cauliflower in a food processor and process about 2 minutes or until smooth. Place potatoes and processed cauliflower into a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer with a whip attachment, mix on medium speed about 1 minute. An electric hand mixer works, too. But you may need to mix the potatoes and cauliflower a little longer.

Add the thyme, butter, yogurt, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Mix on low about 2 minutes until all ingredients are well blended, and serve.
