Sage Mashed Potatoes

Inspired by a recipe found here.

Who (besides my daughter, Natalie) doesn’t like mashed potatoes? The hearty spud mashed into a creamy treat is an irresistible side for any dish.  Though I love 'em in their purest form with butter and milk, I wanted something different for my potatoes. I wanted something healthier. And I also wanted to use some of the plain yogurt out of the massive container leftover from another dish. After some Googling, I found a recipe for sage mashed potatoes. The earthiness of the sage paired with the potato creates a delicious—and different—mashed potato.
