Andrea Bemis’s Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Herbed Yogurt

May 16, 2017

A white plate holds several smashed, roasted potatoes topped with dollops of sour cream and sprinkled with fresh herbs; Andrea’s favorite meal rests invitingly next to a fork on the plate.

This potato side dish is everything a busy home cook wants in a recipe: it’s simple to make, looks great on the plate, and is a total crowd-pleaser (even with the little ones). I found it in farmer-turned-foodie Andrea Bemis’s new seasonal cookbook “Dishing Up the Dirt” and knew it would be one of those recipes I’d turn to often. Simply boil, smash, and roast a few pounds of small Yukon gold potatoes. While they’re cooking you can prepare Andrea’s sauce to pour over top. Made with full-fat yogurt, herbs, lemon, and garlic it’s a healthful and flavorful way to dress up humble potatoes, and isn’t too heavy for a hot summer night either. Make extra sauce and drizzle it over everything from salmon and eggs to a salad or grain bowl over the next couple of days. Enjoy! XXJKE
