INGREDIENTS:
  • 1kg baby potatoes
  • 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely shredded
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • ½ lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup low-fat Greek yoghurt
METHOD:
  • Pre-heat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line a large baking pan with baking paper. Place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander and then pour out onto the baking pan. Using the bottom of a small glass, press down firmly on each potato to lightly ‘smash.’
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, onion, lemon zest, Dijon mustard and olive oil. Mix well and brush half the salsa over the potatoes.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crisp. To serve, drizzle over the remaining salsa and serve alongside the Greek yoghurt.
RECIPE NOTES:

Feel free to swap potatoes for 1kg of sweet potato. Simply cut into 3cm long cubes before cooking
