Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.

Substitutions: If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute plain yogurt with unsweetened plant-based yogurt and Swiss cheese with a vegan cheese alternative. You can also use olive oil instead of butter for a lighter version.

Tips: For extra richness, add a dollop of sour cream alongside the yogurt. Ensure potatoes are fully cooked before adding them to the skillet to prevent undercooking.

Variation: Try adding fresh herbs like chopped parsley or basil at the end for a brighter flavor profile.
