Ingredients
- 2 pounds Red Potatoes (small to medium, waxy; scrubbed and halved)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra‑virgin, for roasting)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh Dill (finely chopped)
- 4 ounces Dill Pickles (finely diced)
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (plain, full‑fat for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (plus extra for seasoning potatoes)
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Boil Potatoes
Place the halved potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a boil over medium‑high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork‑tender, about 12‑15 minutes.
Time: PT15M
Preheat Oven
While the potatoes are boiling, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 425°F
Drain and Dry Potatoes
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 2‑3 minutes to steam off excess moisture.
Time: PT3M
Smash Potatoes
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork or the bottom of a glass, press each piece until it flattens to about ½‑inch thickness. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Roast Until Crispy
Place the sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until the edges are golden‑brown and crisp.
Time: PT20M
Temperature: 425°F
Prepare Yogurt Dressing
In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, diced dill pickles, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper until smooth.
Time: PT5M
Combine Potatoes and Dressing
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a large bowl, add the yogurt dressing, and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.
