In 6-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, place potatoes. Add enough water to cover potatoes; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook uncovered 15 to 18 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese, blue cheese, Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in yogurt and garlic salt.
3

Heat oven to 350°F. Drain potatoes. Mash in saucepan with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed.
4

Stir cheese mixture into mashed potatoes until well blended. If potatoes are too stiff, stir in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Spoon into ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish.

Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes or until hot and top is lightly browned. Sprinkle with paprika and chives.

If you aren't a fan of blue cheese, leave it out or substitute 1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese.
Up to two days ahead, you can make this dish up to the point of baking, then cover and refrigerate. Bake as directed.
Store potatoes in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place. Refrigerating potatoes causes them to become unnaturally sweet and turn dark. Warm temperatures encourage sprouting and shriveling.
