Description

Our ultimate Yukon Gold Mashed Potato recipe is the perfect side dish for a simple weeknight dinner or at the holiday table!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk 
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cut up potatoes (the smaller you cut them the shorter the boil time will be) to the pot of boiling water. Let them boil for 15-25 minutes or until they are very tender. Drain potatoes and add to a large bowl. 
  2. Combine & Mash: Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and let the butter melt/soften for a minute or two. Use a potato masher or electric hand mixer to mash everything together until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  3. Taste & Serve: Taste and adjust salt or other ingredients, as-desired. Enjoy with additional butter or gravy.
