I do not know a single person who does not love potatoes. They are such a marvellos little root. We fry them, roast them, bake them, boil them, mash them. We eat them for snacks we eat them as side dishes, we make soups with them, we even make pies out of them.
Probably the most loved way in the United States to eat this divinly starchy food, is in the form of french fries. Our second favorite way, is probably the baked potato. Then we pile on the chili, or the cheese and butter and sour cream and green onions and bacon bits and...wait...is this getting a little fattening?...More than likely...
A nice buttery, cheesy, sour creamy, oniony, bacon-bedecked spud is still awesome for once in a while, though. If you are just too daunted by all the fat, you could always skip the bacon and skimp on the butter.
Today I found a wonderful alternative to sour cream for my baked potato. I love fat-free fage (Greek yogurt). It is thicker, denser, and more sour than other yogurts and has just enough creaminess in texture. So it had the flavorful texture akin to sour cream, minus the fat!
