Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds Idaho or Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a low simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (for smoother potatoes, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Mash the potatoes with the yogurt and butter using a fork or potato masher. Stir in most of the chives, dill, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the reserved herbs.
