Preparation

Step 1

Put potatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt and enough water to cover them in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Add milk, yogurt, butter, remaining 1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in scallions and spoon into a serving bowl.
