Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Potatoes

Start by washing and peeling your medium potatoes. Cut them into quarters or wedges, depending on your preference. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 10 minutes or until slightly tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will be baked later.

Once drained, season the potatoes with salt, dried garlic, smoked paprika, and dried herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat. For added flavor, place a fresh sprig of rosemary amongst the potatoes.

Step 2

Bake the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remember to stir the potatoes halfway through the baking time to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

While the potatoes are baking, it’s time to prepare the delicious Tzatziki sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine Tzatziki Original, the juice and zest of half a lemon, olive oil, and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Use a fork to mash everything together until smooth.

If you'd like a creamier texture, consider using a blender to mix further. This will give your sauce a light and airy consistency.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Once the potatoes are done baking, transfer them to a serving plate. Spoon the creamy Tzatziki sauce generously over the hot potatoes. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top and garnish with fresh herbs of your choice.

Dig in and enjoy this delightful appetizer or side dish! Your taste buds will thank you!

Servings

When it’s time to serve, make it fun! Place your golden baked potatoes on a beautiful platter, and drizzle with olive oil for that extra touch. This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh, crispy salad for a complete meal. You can even top them with some crumbled feta cheese or fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor! 🌿🍽️

**Perfect for picnics or backyard BBQs**, you can prepare the potatoes ahead of time and warm them up just before serving. They are also delightful as part of a veggie platter with a variety of dips! The options are endless! 🥗✨

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Options: For a gluten-free experience, this recipe is inherently safe, just ensure all ingredients, especially the Tzatziki, are certified gluten-free! 🌾❌

To make it vegan, swap out the regular yogurt for a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt or cashew cream. This will give your sauce that same lovely creaminess without any dairy! 🥥🌱 Add in some chopped cucumbers and garlic for that classic Tzatziki taste, and you’re set!

Faq

  • What type of potatoes should I use?

    Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work great as they become fluffy and tender when baked. Choose what’s available and suits your taste!

  • How can I make sure my potatoes don't burn?

    Stir them occasionally during baking and make sure they are coated well with olive oil. A convection setting helps with even cooking!

  • Is it okay to use leftover baked potatoes for this recipe?

    Absolutely! This recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftovers. Just heat them gently until warmed through before adding the Tzatziki.

  • Can I prepare Tzatziki in advance?

    Yes! Prepare the sauce a day ahead and store it in the fridge. The flavors will meld beautifully, making it even tastier!

  • How do I make my Tzatziki even creamier?

    Blend the ingredients in a food processor for a smoother texture. You can also add a splash of olive oil for additional creaminess!

  • What herbs would you recommend for extra flavor?

    Fresh dill, mint, or parsley are excellent choices! You can mix and match based on your preference!
