Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Potatoes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes (optional, if you prefer them unpeeled, wash well instead) and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange a layer of potato slices evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, half the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the yogurt mixture evenly over the potato slices.
Repeat layering the potatoes and yogurt mixture until all ingredients are used (reserve a small amount of cheese for topping).
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top layer.
Cover the baking dish with foil, ensuring it is snug to trap in the steam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Light Potato Bake!
