Instructions

Place the diced potatoes in a pot with the broth. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce to a simmer, and steam for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
Drain, and reserve the remaining broth.
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Roughly mash the potatoes using a potato masher.
Add the butter, Greek yogurt, and chives. If the potatoes seem dry, you can add the reserved vegetable broth a couple of tablespoons at a time.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate only.
If you're making the mashed potatoes in advance, reserve the cooking broth to add when reheating so they don't dry out.
Can I make mashed potatoes in advance? You bet you can! Simply re-heat in the microwave or in the oven. If they seem a bit dry on re-heating, you can add a little bit of your reserved vegetable broth back in. See? Moisture AND flavour. Boom!
What kind of yogurt is best for mashed potatoes? Please go and find yourself some full-fat Greek Yogurt or other Balkan style yogurt for these healthy mashed potatoes. Remember that we're replacing a ton of butter and cream here, and a full-fat yogurt is going to result in much more delicious mashed potatoes than low-fat or fat-free.
