Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 pounds red potatoes chopped with skins on
- 6 ounces plain full-fat Greek ygourt
- 1 head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil divided
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F degrees.
- Cut off the tips of the head of garlic and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet in the oven. Roast for about 40-50 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a medium pot with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook potatoes for about 30 minutes until fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and place in a large bowl.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sage and pan-fry for about 1 minute until aromatic and starting to crisp. Add the fried sage to the potatoes.
- At this point the garlic should be roasted. Remove from the oven and let it cool until you can handle it.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out into the bowl with the potatoes and sage. Add the Greek yogurt, salt and pepper to the potatoes.
- Mash with a potato masher until all ingredients are incorporated and your desired texture is achieved.
