Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins intact for added texture and nutrients.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the creamy yogurt dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Using a fork, gently smash each potato just enough to break the skin and flatten slightly, being careful not to mash them completely.
Transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving dish and drizzle the creamy yogurt dressing evenly over them.
Sprinkle a touch of paprika over the top for a pop of color, if desired.
Serve the potatoes warm or at room temperature and enjoy your waistline-friendly comfort dish!
