Ingredients
- 2 lbs. nugget potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- A few handfuls of greens pea shoots, arugula, and spinach all work great
Lemon Yogurt Dressing
- ¾ cup plain thick yogurt see notes
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- Juice from 1 ½ lemons
- ¼ cup chopped chives can sub green onions
- A generous pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are soft but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Oil your grill and preheat it to high. Whisk the lemon yogurt dressing ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
- Squish each potato between your palms to flatten them a little. You don't want them to fall apart, so make sure to be gentle. Place the smashed potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with half of the butter and sprinkle with the sea salt.
- Grill for 10 mins, flipping and basting with the remaining butter halfway through.
- Place them in a bowl and let them cool slightly. Add the greens to the bowl then pour the dressing over the top and gently toss. Either serve right away or let it come to room temperature.

Notes
- We use a full-fat yogurt as that is what we always have on hand. But we've calculated the calories using a low-fat yogurt because if we were counting calories, that's what we would use! Choose whichever suits your diet the best.
