Garlic and Lemon Smashed Potatoes
Fabulously garlicky smashed potatoes - an easy and delicious side dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds little potatoes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- Smoked paprika to taste
- Olive oil to taste
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2-3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- Chives to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Move the rack to the middle position.
- Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes. Drain them and place them on a baking sheet. Gently "smash" them down with a fork. Squeeze lemon juice over each potato, then lightly sprinkle each potato with salt & pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drizzle each potato with a little bit of olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt by mixing the minced garlic with the Greek yogurt. Chop the parsley and snip the chives (love my kitchen shears for this!).
- Take the potatoes out of the oven and top them with a dollop of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle on the chives, parsley, and add an extra drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.
Notes
- As an appetizer, this would easily serve 6 people if you had other appetizers around. For a reasonably portioned side dish, this would work for 4 people.
