Ingredients
- 1/2 pounds new or baby red potatoes, (1- to 2-inch diameter), large ones quartered
- 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 scallions, cut in half lengthwise and finely chopped
- 1/16 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- White or freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam until very tender when pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. (Check the water level near the end of steaming to be sure the pan doesn’t boil dry. Add more boiling water as needed.)
-
Meanwhile, combine yogurt, scallions, parsley, butter, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
-
Mix the cooked potatoes into the yogurt mixture, breaking them up with a fork until they crumble apart and lightly clump together.
