A modern and lighter version of traditional Scottish Champit Tatties, using light or fat-free sour cream in place of the usual heavy double cream. Easy, one-pan dish! For variation, top with skirlie - oats fried in butter, or crumbled crisp bacon.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4-6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/3-3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons nonfat sour cream
fresh curly-leaf parsley, snipped for garnish (optional)
skirlie oats (fine or medium oatmeal) (optional)
crumbled crisp bacon (optional)

Directions

1
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and saute potatoes, turning to coat.
2
Stir in the chives and just enough water to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan.
3
Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are done; check periodically and add a little water as needed to prevent potatoes from scorching.
4
Mash potatoes in the pot (no need to drain); stir in salt & pepper to taste, and the sour cream.
5
Serve Champit Tatties hot & garnished with snipped fresh parsley, or top with skirlie - oats fried in butter or crisp crumbled bacon, as desired.
