Information

Prep: 10 mins | Cook time: 40 mins | Serves: 4–6 as a side | Gluten Free

Ingredients list

  • 500g mini potatoes (baby white or mixed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for roasting)
  • 1 tbsp harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 100g Greek yogurt
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • A few sprigs of thyme, leaves only
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Fresh dill, finely chopped (about 2 tbsp)

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan-forced).
  • Place whole mini potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, add crushed garlic, thyme leaves, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  • Roast for 40 minutes, or until golden and tender, giving them a shake halfway through.
While the potatoes roast, prepare your sauces:
  • In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, juice of half a lemon, and half the chopped dill. Season with a little salt and set aside.
  • In another small bowl, stir together the harissa paste and honey. Add a splash of olive oil if you want a thinner drizzle.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a board and gently smash them with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
  • To serve: spread the yogurt mixture over the base of a serving plate. Arrange the smashed potatoes on top. Drizzle generously with the harissa-honey mixture.
  • Garnish with the remaining chopped dill and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
