Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g Baby potatoes
- 200 g Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 50 g Optional: Crumbled feta cheese for topping
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the herby garlic yogurt dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and uniform.
When the potatoes are tender, drain them and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. If desired, peel the potatoes, or leave the skins on for added texture.
Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the herby garlic yogurt dressing and gently toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Fold in the sliced green onions and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for extra flavor.
Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to serve chilled. Enjoy!
