Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Herbed Feta Dip

Prep your dip ahead of time and enjoy in no time. I absolutely love how quickly this recipe comes together, and I love the crunch from the potatoes and the delicious herby feta dip to boot.

Ingredients you need

Potatoes, olive oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, feta, lemon juice, garlic, fresh herbs 

Step 1

Preheat your oven and boil your potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Next, boil your water and add in your small potatoes in a large pot with salt. Boil until fork tender.

Step 2

Drain and coat your potatoes. Drain your potatoes and pat dry, place in a large bowl and toss the cooked potatoes with your olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper until completely coated.

Step 3

Take a cup or potato masher and smash the potatoes down from the center, to evenly distribute the weight so that it smashes evenly and doesn’t fall apart.

Step 4

Transfer to your oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway and roasting for another 20 minutes until crisp to your liking! 

Step 5

Make your herbed feta dip. In a food processor, blend feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs like garlic, basil, chives, parsley salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 6

When your smashed potatoes are finished, you can garnish with more herbs, and serve with your dip! You can also opt to drizzle over the dip as well over the potatoes!
