For the yogurt dip:
½ bunch fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
½ tsp salt
1 tsp chilli flakes

– choose small potatoes, of approximately the same size

2. After the potatoes have boiled, let them cool down a little, then place them evenly on the baking tray lined with baking paper.
3. Mash the potatoes using the end of a glass or a masher. Do not press too hard, so as not to crush the potatoes. You have to flatten them, but they should remain whole.
4. In a bowl, add the olive oil, sweet paprika, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Mix everything well and spread this mix on each potato separately.
5. You can sprinkle the potatoes with olive oil. This step is optional. Olive oil makes the potatoes crispier on the outside.
6. Bake the potatoes in the oven preheated to 400 F (200 degrees C). After 15 minutes, remove them from the oven and turn them over to the other side. Brush this part with the herb mix obtained at point 4 and leave the potatoes in the oven for another 15 minutes.
7. While the potatoes are in the oven, you can prepare the yogurt sauce.
In a bowl, mix the parsley, garlic, salt, chili flakes and olive oil. This mix is placed over the yogurt or you have the option to mix everything. Depending on everyone’s preferences.
8. Serve the potatoes with the yogurt sauce, as a side dish or as a main dish.
