Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 6 medium potatoes)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk
1 cup labneh
1 tablespoon dried mint
Directions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and boil, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain.
- Transfer the potatoes to a stand mixer and beat until mashed. You can also use a hand mixer for this purpose. Add the milk, labneh, mint, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Beat until silky smooth, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm.
Cook’s Note
You can make the potatoes a day in advance and reheat them if you like. Place them in a saucepan and stir in 1/2 cup milk so the potatoes are smooth again. Place them over medium heat and stir frequently to keep them from sticking to the pot.
