Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and spray them lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Add salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the potatoes, and toss well until the cubes are evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking.
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.
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.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
Top with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes with your favorite salsa or hot sauce for an added kick.
