1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
-
Prepare sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vegetable broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
-
Layer potatoes: Arrange half the sliced potatoes evenly in the dish. Pour half the sauce mixture over them. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
-
Repeat with remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheeses.
-
Cover with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
-
Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes to allow the top to become golden and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
