Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (about 25 baby potatoes)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • fresh oregano for garnish
  • tzatziki dip (follow our recipe to make this dip)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. Bring a large pot of water along with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp baking soda to a boil.
  3. Add in baby potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, until very soft. Remove and drain in a colander.
  4. To a sheet pan drizzle ⅓ cup olive oil and 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese. Stir together to combine.
  5. Place potatoes across the baking sheet (on the cheese - olive oil mixture) and using the bottom of a glass cup press down on potatoes to ‘smash’ each until ¼-½ inch thick. Drizzle or brush with 2 tbsp olive, sprinkle over mixture of garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes until crispy and crust has formed on the bottom.
  7. While the potatoes are baking, make the Tzatziki dip by following the instructions in our recipe. (You can probably make a half batch of Tzatziki if desired).
  8. Transfer cooked potatoes to a platter; serve topped with fresh chopped oregano and tzatziki.

Notes

  • If you're more of a parmesan cheese fan, substitute the feta cheese with the same amount of parmesan.
