🥘 Ingredients

For the Smashed Potatoes

  • 12 baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt (plus extra for sprinkling)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (optional)

  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped

For the Zesty Yogurt Dip

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

For the Smashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven: 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Boil potatoes: In a pot of salted water, boil potatoes for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.

  3. Smash potatoes: Place boiled potatoes on the baking sheet and gently press each potato with a potato masher or fork until flattened but still in one piece.

  4. Season & oil: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs.

  5. Bake: Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy on edges. Halfway through, sprinkle parmesan cheese if using.

For the Zesty Yogurt Dip

  1. Mix dip: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir until smooth.

  2. Serve: Plate the crispy potatoes with the yogurt dip on the side. Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil over the dip and sprinkle extra herbs for presentation.

💡 Tips

  • Use small potatoes for maximum crispiness.

  • Flip potatoes halfway through baking for even golden edges.

  • Make dip ahead and chill for a few minutes — flavors meld perfectly.

  • Add a touch of chili flakes to the dip for a spicy kick.

🔄 Variations

  • Cheesy Dip Version: Mix shredded cheddar into the yogurt dip.

  • Herby Garlic Dip: Add roasted garlic and fresh basil.

  • Spicy Yogurt Dip: Add ¼ tsp cayenne or sriracha.

🧊 Storage

  • Potatoes: Refrigerate 1–2 days in an airtight container; reheat in oven for crispiness.
