🛒 Ingredients

✓ 400g russet potatoes, cubed
✓ 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
✓ 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
✓ 1/2 tsp garlic powder
✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
✓ Olive oil spray
✓ 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 2 tbsp low-fat sour cream
✓ 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
✓ 1/2 tsp lemon zest
✓ 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
✓ Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Boil the Potatoes: Cut russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Bring a pot of salted water to boil, add potatoes, and cook for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly in a colander, shaking gently to remove excess moisture.

2. Mash and Season: Return potatoes to the pot. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, garlic powder, chives, and dill. Mash until smooth but still slightly textured (not over-worked). Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.

3. Cool and Shape: Spread mashed potato mixture on a plate to cool for 5 minutes. Using your hands or two spoons, form 8 patties (about 2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick). Place on parchment paper.

4. Coat with Panko: Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over both sides of each patty, pressing gently so they adhere. This creates the crispy exterior without deep frying.

5. Pan-Fry Until Golden: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray lightly with olive oil spray. Working in batches, cook patties 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

6. Make the Herb Cream: While patties cook, whisk together 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp low-fat sour cream, parsley, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. This is your dipping sauce.

7. Plate and Serve: Transfer hot patties to serving plates. Dollop herb cream on the side or drizzle lightly over the top. Serve immediately while the exterior is still crispy.
