Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For the Smashed Potatoes:

  • 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes (golden or red)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

For the Garlic Dip:

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (or fresh dill, finely chopped)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Smash and Season the Potatoes:

  1. Smash the Potatoes: Place the boiled potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass, a potato masher, or a large spoon to gently press down on each potato, flattening them slightly.
  2. Season and Oil: Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Bake the Potatoes:

  1. First Bake: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  2. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the partially baked potatoes.
  3. Second Bake: Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is golden brown.

Prepare the Garlic Dip:

  1. Mix the Dip Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve the Smashed Potatoes and Dip:

  1. Garnish and Plate: Transfer the crispy smashed potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  2. Serve with Garlic Dip: Place the chilled garlic dip in a bowl and serve alongside the potatoes for dipping.
