Description
Golden, crispy smashed potatoes served over a creamy whipped feta dip and finished with a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle for a perfect appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Use a flat-bottomed cup or masher to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
- Drizzle potatoes with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- While potatoes bake, make whipped feta: In a food processor, blend feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy. Spread on a serving plate.
- Make hot honey: In a small saucepan, warm honey over low heat. Stir in red pepper flakes and let infuse for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- To serve, spread whipped feta on a platter, top with crispy smashed potatoes, drizzle with hot honey, and garnish with fresh parsley.
