Ingredients:

2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup nonfat cream cheese

2 teaspoons minced fresh chives

2 tablespoons minced green onions

1/4 teaspoon salt

dash of pepper

3 hard-cooked eggs

1 egg white, lightly beaten

1/2 cup reduced-fat round buttery cracker crumbs

vegetable cooking spray

12 fresh asparagus spears

1/2 cup nonfat sour cream

1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise

2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

3 tablespoons skim milk

8 romaine lettuce leaves

chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions:

1. Cook potato in boiling water to cover 15 minutes or until tender; drain. Transfer to a bowl; beat potato at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Add cream cheese and next 4 ingredients; beat well.
2. Cut hard-cooked eggs into quarters. Shape 1/4 cup potato mixture around each egg quarter to form an egg shape. Brush each with egg white; roll in cracker crumbs. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes or until browned.
3. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Arrange asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover; steam 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
4. Combine sour cream and next 3 ingredients; stir. To serve, arrange 3 asparagus spears and 3 baked egg quarters on each of 4 lettuce-lined serving plates. Top each serving with 3 tablespoons sour cream mixture. Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
