Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, cut the top off the head of garlic to expose cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft. Squeeze roasted garlic into a small bowl and mash into a paste.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place potatoes on the sheet and use a potato masher or the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato to about 1/2-inch thickness. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
While potatoes roast, make the dips: For roasted garlic yogurt, combine yogurt and half the roasted garlic paste; season with salt and pepper. For whipped feta, combine feta, cream cheese, butter, and remaining garlic paste in a food processor and blend until smooth and fluffy.
In a small skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add capers and fry for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, stir together honey and red pepper flakes.
To serve, spread the roasted garlic yogurt and whipped feta on a platter. Arrange crispy potatoes on top. Sprinkle with crispy capers, drizzle with chili honey, and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra heat, add more red pepper flakes to the honey.
