Add the garlic salt to a large sauce pot, and fill 2/3 full with water.
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, dropping into the water as you work.
Bring to a boil, and boil potatoes for 15-25 minutes, until soft when pierced with a fork.
Use a coffee cup to remove and reserve 1/2 cup of the potato water, then drain the potatoes.
Add the almond milk, cheese, yogurt and 1/4 of the potato water to the pot of drained potatoes and mash together, adding more potato water as needed to get your desired consistency.
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. If desired, add 2 tablespoons of butter to melt over the potatoes.
