Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Low-fat sour cream
• 0.25 cup Skim milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Olive oil cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, even cubes, about 1 inch in size.

Step 3

Place the diced potatoes into a large pot. Fill with enough water to cover the potatoes by about an inch.

Step 4

Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are halfway cooked for about 10 minutes. They should be tender but not falling apart.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Mix in the low-fat cheddar cheese, low-fat sour cream, skim milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper with the potatoes. Stir gently until the cheese begins to melt and the mixture is well combined.

Step 7

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.

Step 8

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the cheesy potatoes cool slightly before serving, then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
