IMPROVED Idahoan boxed Au Gratin Potatoes

 So ... I was making shake and bake pork chops and needed a starchy side and wanted boxed Au Gratin potatos ... and discovered I had no milk.  And I had no good alternatives. We are recently moved back in after the fire and not all staples, supplies and routines are back to 100% so OF COURSE there was no damn milk.


The Idahoan Au Gratin boxed potatoes call for 3/4 C milk.  I had no milk, but I did have Fage 5% Greek Yogurt.  I figured 1/4 - 1/3  C of the whole milk greek yogurt  with enough water to equal 3/4 C would do ... and of course I went with 1/3 C Greek Yogurt with water to equal 3/4.

Then I followed the rest of the package instructions - except for temperatures because I had those shake and bake pork chops to cook to.  So ... preheat to 450*, cook au gratin potatoes for 10 min - cut temp to 400*, add thiccccc shake n bake coated pork chops, cook 23 min, remove potatoes and pork chops from oven - rest both about 5 min befofre serving.  


Oh holy hell ... I will never bother with milk again and ... I am on the verge of recommending using only 1/4 C of Greek yogurt because using the 1/3 C ... these were RIDICULOUS. But only on the verge - it would be fine either way but these are not uncomfortably over the top ... just enough!
