Peel and cut potatoes to large cubes.
Add to a medium-sized cooking pot and cover with water. Season with a bit of salt.
Boil potatoes until they're soft enough. To the point, they fall apart when you prick them and try to lift them with a fork.
Heat the milk until steamy hot and set aside.
Drain potatoes in a strainer. Then transfer back to the pot or in a large mixing bowl.
Mash potatoes using an electric hand mixer starting with low speed. Pour in the hot milk slowly. Then the garlic, olive oil, nutmeg, and finally the Greek yogurt.
Season with salt and pepper and taste to see if they need any additional seasoning.
Serve warm with freshly ground pepper on top.
