ingredients

2 lbs yellow petites potatoes
¹⁄₂ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated, divided
3 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped, divided
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
¹⁄₂ lemon, juice and zest
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper

directions

Halve and steam potatoes using a basket steamer, until just tender, about 8 minutes. When cool enough to handle, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop the flesh out of each potato into a mixing bowl. Place potato shells on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and set aside.
Mash potato flesh with a fork. Mix in half the Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons oregano, 1 Tbsp olive oil and all the remaining ingredients until well blended. Spoon the filling back into the potato shells evenly. (If making ahead, potatoes can be wrapped with plastic at this point and refrigerated until needed).
To serve, preheat oven to 450°F Top the filled potatoes with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of the remaining olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Garnish with remaining oregano and transfer to a platter and serve warm.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
