Note

Use leftover chicken broth to keep the potatoes moist without adding fat.

For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth and plant-based yogurt.

White pepper adds a subtle warmth without visible specks, complementing the garlic well.

Add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of aromatic complexity.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth.
