Description

Ingredients

• 2 pounds white or red potatoes, cut into about ½ inch pieces
• 1 cup (about 4 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, reserve about ¼ cup for sprinkling on top, if desired
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cup milk
• 2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon, reserve a small amount for sprinkling on top, if desired
• 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, or to taste

Directions

• 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.
