- 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and spray them lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 4
Add salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the potatoes, and toss well until the cubes are evenly coated with the spices.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Step 6
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
Step 7
While the potatoes are roasting, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat shredded cheddar cheese in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
