Crispy Potatoes Garlic Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Potato Prep

01 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (use fresh if possible)
02 - 3 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 ½ lbs small golden or red potatoes
04 - ½ tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika
05 - Salt and pepper (season as you like)
06 - 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for sprinkling)

→ Creamy Garlic Dip

07 - ½ cup plain yogurt (Greek style)
08 - ½ cup sour cream
09 - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
10 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
11 - 1 tbsp olive oil
12 - 1 tsp chopped fresh or dried dill
13 - Salt & pepper (adjust to taste)

# Instructions:

01 - Fill a big pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Put in the small potatoes, and cook them for around 15-20 minutes or until they're soft. Strain and let them cool down just a bit.
02 - Turn the oven to 425°F (220°C). Use parchment paper on a baking tray or lightly grease it.
03 - Put the cooked potatoes on the lined tray. Gently smash them down with a glass, spoon, or masher to flatten slightly. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
04 - Bake those seasoned potatoes for 20 minutes in the warmed-up oven.
05 - Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese all over the potatoes after the first bake. Pop them back in the hot oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and edges are crispy.
06 - Stir together yogurt, sour cream, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl. Toss in some salt and pepper. Cover it up and chill for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
07 - Move the crunchy potatoes to a plate, sprinkle parsley on top if you'd like, and serve with the garlicky dip on the side.

# Notes:

01 - Spread the potatoes out, giving them plenty of space to crisp up.
02 - Feel free to tweak the spices and seasoning to match your taste.
