Ingredients
• The Star: 3 lbs Red or Yukon Gold Potatoes (quartered as shown in your photo).
• The Creamy Base: 1 ½ cups Plain Greek Yogurt or blended Cottage Cheese (replaces heavy cream and flour).
• The “Magic” Binder: ½ cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth (sugar-free).
• The Flavor Trio: 3 cloves Garlic (minced), ¼ cup fresh Chives (finely chopped), and 1 tsp Onion Powder.
• The Cheesy Melt: 1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar or Parmesan cheese.
• Seasoning: A generous pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper.
Preparation Steps
1. Prep the Spuds: Scrub and quarter your potatoes. Leaving the skins on, as seen in your slow cooker photo, adds extra fiber and a professional, rustic look.
2. The “Magic” Sauce: In a glass bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or blended cottage cheese), broth, garlic, chives, and spices. This creates the “velvety” herb sauce you are pouring in the picture.
3. Slow Cook: Place the potatoes in the slow cooker. Pour the creamy mixture over the raw quarters, ensuring every piece is coated.
4. The Set: Cover and cook on High for 3–4 hours or Low for 6–7 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender.
5. The Finish: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheese. Let it melt into the sauce for that “wow” cheesy pull.
6. Serve: Garnish with extra fresh chives right before serving to keep it looking like a “healthy treasure.”
