Low Fat Yogurt Mashed Potatoes created by Bonnie G 2

This is one I came up with as a variation of mashed potatoes with sour cream. By substituting fat free or low fat plain yogurt you can reduce the fat in this favourite without compromising on flavour.

I found this recipe in Cuisine Tonight magazine and came to post after making it and found this - YEAH!! don't have to post!! It's close with only some minor changes that I think really add to it. Added ` tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon minced lemon zest and minced scallions instead of onions. It was awesome. Served with Greek Chicken Cutlets and made for a wonderful fresh, dinner that was pretty enough for company.

Way too bland. I had to add parmesan, garlic powder, etc.

I used 2 cups of plain fat-free yoghurt and 1 1/2 onions, and, 4 tbsps. of parsley. This was very good as a side dish. Thank you!
