Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds and set aside.

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and flour until smooth.
