always been a staple side dish in my family growing up served with turkey on Thanksgiving and with our ham on Christmas.\u00a0 Unfortunately, potatoes tend to get a bad rap because they are higher in carbohydrates so people assume they are unhealthy, however how you prepare them is key!\u00a0 For this healthy mashed potato recipe, we are cutting down on the potatoes and sneaking in a whole head of cauliflower for some extra veg and using protein-packed Greek yogurt to make this so creamy.\u00a0 If you are looking for a low-carb option though, my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/easy-mashed-cauliflower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mashed cauliflower recipe<\/a> is delicious!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love this Recipe<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Healthier than traditional mashed potatoes and still so creamy.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll never guess a whole head of cauliflower is in this recipe!<\/li>\n<li>Easily made all in one pot in just 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Perfect side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas or weeknight dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure

data-src=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mashed-potatoes-4-scaled.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>potatoes<\/strong> \u2013 I personally prefer to use Yukon gold potatoes due to their natural yellow color and buttery texture, but you could also use russet potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>cauliflower<\/strong> \u2013 adds in some extra nutrition and allows us to use less potatoes keeping this dish lighter and lower in carbs.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need one whole head of cauliflower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>greek yogurt<\/strong> \u2013 takes the place of sour cream or cream cheese that is typically used in mashed potato recipes and adds in some protein making these mashed potatoes so creamy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>milk<\/strong> \u2013 I used unsweetened almond milk to cut down on the fat and calories that milk and cream traditionally bring to mashed potatoes, but feel free to use skim milk or any type of milk you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>chicken broth<\/strong> \u2013 this adds extra flavor while allowing us to use less milk.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have low sodium chicken broth you can use vegetable broth or even extra milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>butter<\/strong> \u2013 you don\u2019t need a lot of butter in these healthier mashed potatoes, but they sure do make such a difference and give them that classic taste.\u00a0 You can also use vegan butter as a dairy-free option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>seasonings<\/strong> \u2013 combination of garlic powder (or you could use minced garlic cloves), salt and black pepper to season the mashed potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>fresh herbs<\/strong> \u2013 this is optional, but I used a combination of fresh thyme along with some fresh chives to garnish these potatoes.\u00a0 You could also add in fresh parsley, rosemary or sage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Healthy Mashed Potatoes<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chop, chop, chop.<\/strong>\u00a0 Peel and cut your potatoes into 2-inch chunks and chop the head of cauliflower into florets.\u00a0 Set them aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boil the potatoes.<\/strong>\u00a0 Place the potatoes only (hold off on the cauliflower for now) to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.\u00a0 Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and let the potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the cauliflower.\u00a0<\/strong> 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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mash.<\/strong>\u00a0 Drain the potatoes and cauliflower then add them back into the pot they were cooked in.\u00a0 Add the milk, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper and either mash using a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/IZsUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potato masher<\/a> or blend everything using an <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/IHeCv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electric mixer<\/a> (or stand mixer) until you get your desired consistency and a nice creamy texture.\u00a0 I personally prefer to use a hand mixer as it really gets the mashed potatoes perfectly fluffy!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve.\u00a0<\/strong> Transfer mashed potatoes to a bowl, taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, and garnish with fresh thyme and chives.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure
