Cheddar Cheese Potatoes with Yogurt


Servings: 6
Time: 1 hour

  • 6 medium baking potatoes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/3 cup minced green onion
  • 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped
  • Paprika



    Boil potatoes until tender. Drain, cool slightly, peel and shred potatoes into a
    large bowl. Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter 8" square baking dish. Melt butter and
    saute onions. Add red pepper and two cups cheese and cook over low heat until
    cheese is almost melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt.
    Season with salt and pepper. Fold into potatoes. Pour into prepared dish.
    Top with remaining cheese, sprinkle with paprika. Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.




    Comments: This is a good dish to prepare ahead of time to the point of baking.
    I use a potato ricer to shred the potatoes.
