Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
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.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they become soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and flour until smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to coat the potatoes evenly. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve the smothered potatoes warm, as a side dish or a main course.
