Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes, each cut into 6 pieces
½ teaspoon salt
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon olive oil
6 ounces plain fat-free Greek yogurt, or more as needed
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot over low heat to evaporate any extra water. Put potatoes through a potato ricer or mash thoroughly with a potato masher.
Place garlic cloves in a microwave-safe dish; drizzle olive oil over garlic. Microwave on high until garlic is fragrant and tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Mix garlic and yogurt into potatoes; add more yogurt as needed. Stir feta cheese into mashed potatoes until melted; top with butter to serve.
