Servings: 8
Ingredients

  • 5 small Yukon gold potatoes and 5 small red potatoes or potato type of your choice (try russets, white or fingerlings)
  • 1 pint sweet mini peppers (red, orange and yellow)
  • 8 sprigs cilantro, picked from stems
  • 4 tablespoons  fat-free sour cream or fat-free Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

Directions
• Place whole potatoes (do not poke) into microwave-safe covered dish.

• Remove potatoes from microwave and, using a layer of paper towels to cover each potato, smash them on a cutting board until 1 3/4-inch thick. Helpful tip: Use the side of a coffee cup or flat cooking utensil to smash the potatoes.

• Spray sauté pan with cooking spray, heat on high and add smashed potatoes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until potatoes start to brown.

• On a plate, place potatoes and layer with sour cream or yogurt (optional), peppers and cilantro. Dust with salt, chili powder and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
