Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins intact for added texture and nutrients.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the creamy yogurt dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Using a fork, gently smash each potato just enough to break the skin and flatten slightly, being careful not to mash them completely.

Step 6

Transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving dish and drizzle the creamy yogurt dressing evenly over them.

Step 7

Sprinkle a touch of paprika over the top for a pop of color, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the potatoes warm or at room temperature and enjoy your waistline-friendly comfort dish!
