Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 pounds new or baby red potatoes (1 to 2-inch diameter), large ones quartered
• 2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt

• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Recipe

Ready Time: 40 mins


• 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.
