Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Low-fat sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Chopped onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the russet potatoes and poke several holes in each with a fork. Bake them directly on the oven rack for about 60 minutes until they are tender. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely. This step can be done a day ahead.
Once the potatoes are cooled, peel the skins (optional) and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together the low-fat sour cream, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Gently fold the sour cream mixture into the grated potatoes. Be careful not to overmix as you want to maintain some texture.
Lightly coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving, if desired. Enjoy your Low Fat Potatoes Romanoff warm!
