Red Smashed Yogurt Potatoes

1 June 2009 No Comment
smashedI loove smashed potatoes … but all of that butter is not good news for bikini season – so I came up with a different way to make smashed potatoes! It doesn’t taste exactly the same but it had a bit of a tang to it from the Greek yogurt that I actually looove.
  • 1/3 bag of small red potatoes
  • 8oz Chobani low fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbs dill weed
  • 2 tbs EVOO
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • big pinch of parsley
  • To start out I like to cut all of the baby potatoes in half so that they cook faster… but it’s important to remember that you need to keep a close eye on the potatoes because if they’re too well done – the whole dish will taste starchy and won’t have the right consistency.
  • Salt the water and boil until the potatoes are “fork tender”
  • Strain the potatoes and with a potato masher or a wooden spoon – smooth them to a smashed potato consistency.
  • Add yogurt and EVOO and combine well.
  • Add in parsley, garlic, dill weed, a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • If the smashed potatoes need a bit more moisture, add a bit more EVOO.
Enjoy this healthier and unique variation of the smaaashed potato. :)
