Think beyond regular mashed potatoes and create a colorful addition to any dinner plate. Sweet potatoes are wonderfully creamy when mashed and blended with fat-free Greek yogurt. It's a super-healthy side, loaded with vitamin A, beta-carotene and fiber. Enjoy on Thanksgiving or any night of the week.
Ingredients
3 medium sweet potato(es), peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2 pounds)
2 medium garlic clove(s), peeled
1/2 cup(s) plain fat-free yogurt, Greek-variety recommended
4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
Instructions
• Place potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan; pour in enough water to cover potatoes. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil; boil until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and garlic; transfer potatoes and garlic to a large bowl. Add yogurt and sugar to bowl; mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 6 3/4-cup servings.

These are delish! Try them.
I made these again and added a twist. I omitted the sugar, doubled the Greek yogurt and addeed 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper. I like this version even better!
