Ingredients
600g new potatoes (use similar sizes for even cooking)
30ml olive oil
1 tbsp smoked paprika (adjust to taste)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
50g plain breadcrumbs (panko or regular for extra crunch)
150g natural low-fat yoghurt
10g fresh dill, finely chopped (about 1 tbsp loosely packed)
50g cucumber, grated and squeezed dry (adds texture to the dip)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed or finely grated (for the dip)
5g chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220ºC and line a baking tray with parchment or lightly oil it.
Step 2
Place the halved new potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 3
Scatter the breadcrumbs over the seasoned potatoes and toss gently so some crumbs cling to the cut surfaces for extra crunch.
Step 4
Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared tray in a single layer, leaving space between pieces for even browning.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crisp and a knife meets little resistance.
Step 6
While the potatoes roast, make the dill-yoghurt dip: combine the yoghurt, chopped dill, grated cucumber (if using), lemon juice and crushed garlic in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Chill until needed.
Step 7
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley if using.
Step 8
Serve hot with the chilled dill-yoghurt dip for dipping.
