Freshly dug, true “new” potatoes are so creamy and flavorful they hardly need any additional ingredients to make them spectacular. Here we tumble them with a bit of butter, tangy yogurt, scallions and just-chopped fresh parsley. If new potatoes are not available, use any small red potatoes.

Ingredients

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.

Creamy tasty perfect I made a vegan version using So Delicious coconut milk yogurt and Zen Budda buttery spread (the much more widely available Earth Balance would do also). The yogurt really imparts a nice creaminess and flavor. But the whole ensemble works great. Pros: Overall great side dish Cons: None Read More

Love the tangy flavor! I made this dish for Thanksgiving this year due to it being part of Eating Well's Thanksgiving 'sideshow.' The only change I made was to use Greek low-fat yogurt instead of regular (perhaps the reason for the extra tang?) and I used my Smart Balance butter spread instead of butter. To me this dish reminded me of sour cream and onion flavor (thoughI don't even like sour cream). Overall a tangy zesty wake-up for those overloaded Thanksgiving tastebuds. s Pros: Easy to make Read More

I absolutely LOVE this recipe. The only substitute I make is to use non-fat sour cream instead of yogurt. I've made it for a few parties and everyone loves it. There's never any left. Read More

This is a fantastic potato dish! I had some leftover new potatoes that had been boiled. I quickly reheated them in the micro and added the additional ingredients....delicious! Read More

Excellent recipe. The only thing I would do is to add some bacon bits-- what can I say it's a guy thing! Read More

I made a 5 pound batch with red potatoes for Thanksgiving. I also added fresh minced garlic. YUM! They turned out great! I did not even miss all the fattening butter and 2% milk I normally would have dumped in potatoes. Read More

Fresh and Tasty! Though not tasting exactly like your standard rich mashed potatoes these are definitely worthy of a place in my recipe box. This is a great way to update and put a fresh twist on mashed potatoes; they really have a "zing" to them and are big on flavor! Tastes like Spring; yum! Read More
