Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by setting your Greek yogurt or sour cream and frozen vegetables aside to reach room temperature.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add cubed Russet or sweet potatoes. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash half with butter or ghee, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add your choice of ground meat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease.
  4. Add diced sweet onion, chopped celery, and minced garlic; sauté for about 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent and celery softens.
  5. Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and pour in broth. Increase heat to boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Mix in the mashed and remaining whole potatoes, stir thoroughly, and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and gently stir in your Greek yogurt or sour cream until well combined. Serve with fresh pepper, parsley, or green onions on top.
