- Boil 1 lb potatoes until tender. Cool, peel, and dice into ½-inch cubes. Set aside.

- Stir in the whisked yogurt, cooking and stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until the yogurt is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Add ½ cup water, mix well, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened to your desired consistency.
