SERVES 4

Ingredients

2 pounds baby yellow potatoes
3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the dressing:
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 large garlic clove minced
1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1 medium cucumber seeded and finely chopped
Greek olives for garnish

Instructions

Boil the potatoes in a large pot until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Smash the cooled potatoes using the bottom of a cup or jar and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Combine the roasted potatoes with the dressing and chopped cucumber. Serve garnished with sliced olives, if desired.
