Irish Cheddar Potato Bake

Smashed red potatoes mix with garlic, thyme, Kerrygold cheddar cheese, milk and yogurt to create a delicious side dish. I serve this next to corned beef on St. Patty's Day for a delicious holiday meal.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ½ Lbs. Red potatoes, chopped into one inch piece
  • 2 Garlic cloves peeled and smashed
  • ½ Cup Skim milk
  • 2 Tbsp. Kerrygold unsalted butter (any butter will work but I love Kerrygold in the dish)
  • ¼ Cup Fat free Fage Greek yogurt
  • ½ Cup Shredded Kerrygold cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. Chopped parsley
  • 1 Tsp. Chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Cooking Spray

Instructions
 

  • Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the potatoes and garlic and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Drain the potatoes and smashed garlic cloves well. Add them back into the same pot you cooked them in. Add the milk, butter and yogurt, salt and pepper to taste and then smash the mixture leaving chunks of potatoes (By now the garlic should be very, very soft and have been well incorporated into the potato mixture.)
  • Stir in half the cheese and one tablespoon of parsley and the thyme.
  • Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top – about 20 minutes. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving and top with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.
