Description:
Boiled baby potatoes are smashed, roasted until craggy and crisp, then served over lemony herb yogurt for a side that feels restaurant-level.
Ingredients:
- 3.00 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1.50 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.00 Clove garlic
- 1.25 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.50 Teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 Cup parsley
- 0.75 Cup Greek yogurt
- 2.00 Tablespoon chives
- 1.50 Pound baby potatoes
Instructions:
- Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Boil until fork-tender, 18 to 22 minutes.
- Drain well and let the potatoes steam dry for 5 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 450 F. Place the potatoes on an oiled sheet pan and smash each one to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper and remaining salt, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until deeply crisp.
- Stir the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and chives together in a small bowl.
- Spread the yogurt on a platter and arrange the hot potatoes on top.
Notes:
- A flat-bottomed measuring cup works well for smashing.
- Do not crowd the sheet pan or the potatoes will steam.
- Serve immediately; the edges soften as they sit.
