Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 stalks scallions (green onions), chopped
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, almond milk, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Step 5

Add the cooked potatoes to the mixing bowl and gently toss them with the yogurt mixture until evenly coated.

Step 6

Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped scallions, reserving some scallions for garnish.

Step 7

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with reserved scallions, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Low Fat Red Potato Casserole!
