Submitted by Bergy

"This is about as low calorie and still tasty potatoes that you can find. You can do ahead and reheat in the oven just before serving."

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1. Sauté the onion in the butter over medium heat until browned (about 12 minutes). Put potatoes, milk and garlic in a saucepan; cover pot.
2. Over medium heat simmer until the potatoes are cooked through (about 12 minutes) stir occasionally.
3. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and put them in the skillet with the onions.
4. Mash potatoes with the onions.

Bergy, these come close too the BEST mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. They so delicious, and so low fat, that I can't believe it. I loved them, and will be making them again often. Even our non-onion eater cleaned up his plate, as the onions had cooked away to that yummy caramelised stage. Thanks for an amazing recipe.

Excellent flavour. The onions and garlic give them lots of added seasoning. I omitted the nutmeg - family not a fan of it but otherwise followed directions exactly. Will definately make it again.

Great recipe Bergy, loved the flavour from the yogurt. Something a little different but very yummy, thanks for sharing.

Oh Bergy, these are wonderful. I have never made potatos like this before! I did add quite a bit of fresh black pepper. They were SUPPOSE to be served with the rest of the meal, but I hoarded them for myself...I even heated up some for breakfast. Just delish!
