Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds white or red potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
  • 4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ((1 cup) - reserve about 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top, if desired)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk, (any variety)
  • 2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon, (reserve a small amount for sprinkling on top, if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Cover potatoes in a pot with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain well and return potatoes to the pot, allowing some of the excess moisture to evaporate.
  • Mash potatoes with a hand potato masher, leaving just a little chunky.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the hot potatoes and cover with a lid for a couple minutes to allow the heat to start to melt the cheese.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, milk, salt, and pepper, and stir in with a spatula until smooth, then stir in the bacon.
  • Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl, and top with reserved cheese and bacon, if desired.
