By boiling garlic with the potatoes the garlic infuses the potatoes and gives them even more flavor when they are made into mashed potatoes. These mashed potatoes are zero points on the purple WW plan. Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes at Thanksgiving and I could probably eat them as a side dish for dinner every night. Now that they are zero points on the myWW purple plan, I was determined to make a zero-point mashed potato recipe with dairy in it. Now that I can eat dairy again after discovering it was the artificial sweeteners giving me the digestion problems, I’ve been eating ALL the dairy. To make these mashed potatoes zero points, I used plain non-fat Greek yogurt and 1% milk. Any extra toppings you add on the potatoes you have to count of course. Mashed potatoes aren’t only just for Thanksgiving. They can be a side dish at any time of the year. I love making mock KFC bowls with mashed potatoes. A mock KFC bowl is simply mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, and chicken. So good.

How to make Mashed Potatoes

Boil until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes; drain and return potatoes and garlic to the pan. Add Greek Yogurt to pan; stir and then mash the mixture until almost smooth (or desired consistency). Stir in milk. Fold in parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about ¾ cup per serving.
Tips for Mashed Potatoes
If you like your potatoes with butter on it, use light butter. Land O Lakes or I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter makes good light butter. That will be extra points.
