Description
A delightful side dish featuring golden, crispy smashed potatoes topped with creamy whipped feta and a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork or the bottom of a cup, gently smash each potato until it is flattened but still intact.
- Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, prepare the whipped feta: In a food processor, combine feta cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- For the hot honey drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter. Arrange the crispy smashed potatoes on top. Drizzle with hot honey and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder hot honey, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
