    Ingredients

    • 3 lbs russet potatoes
    • 6 tbsp. butter
    • ½ cup plain greek yogurt full fat*
    • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
    • ¾ cup half & half cream
    • 2 heads of garlic roasted
    • drizzle of olive oil for garlic
    • salt & pepper to taste
    • optional toppings:
    • diced green onions
    • parsley

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven 400 degrees.
    • Cut top off garlic by about ¼ inch and remove any loose skin.
    • Drizzle cut open ends with olive oil & rub in.
    • Wrap in aluminum foil and place in baking dish.
    • Roast 35-40 minutes until lightly browned & looks caramelized.
    • Remove from oven & allow to cool about 10 minutes.
    • Once cool squeeze garlic out of bulb into small dish & set aside.
    • Meanwhile peel potatoes and rinse in cold water.
    • Place potatoes in large pot of salted water and cover at least 2 inches above potatoes.**
    • Bring to boil, then reduce to medium & cook 20-25 minutes until can easily pierce with fork.
    • Drain potatoes and with spoon or fork place potatoes in ricer in batches and add back to pot.
    • Add roasted garlic, butter, & cream cheese and mash together.
    • Then add greek yogurt & half & half cream and mix well.
    • Salt & pepper to taste.
    • top with optional diced green onions

    Notes

    *Nutrition Disclaimer
    *could sub with sour cream if you like
    **leave potatoes whole after peeling unless you have some really large potatoes which you could cut in half.
    you basically want all the potatoes to be uniform in size for even cooking time.

      I'm glad I'm not the only one who has switched my focus to the holidays already. There's so much planning that needs to be done! Though, I'll eat mashed potatoes year-round. 😉
