Ingredients

4 potatoes, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped (1 small)
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon sweet curry powder
1/4 cup potato cooking water
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
to taste, freshly ground black pepper
optional garnish steamed green peas

Preparation Instructions:

Steam potatoes in a vegetable steamer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking water.

Heat canola oil in saute pan, add chopped onion and saute until tender.

Add ginger, turmeric, and curry powder. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Add potato water and potatoes, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes. This allows flavors to permeate potatoes.

Gently stir in low fat sour cream. Heat on low until warm. Serve with fresh ground pepper over the top.
