Creamy Smoky Garlic Potatoes

Potato salad is good, potato salad with seasoning is great. This version celebrates smoked paprika and it was a big win – one that made for a good Taco Tuesday side.

Scrub & pat dry 3 medium potatoes (I used 2 small ones) and then cut them into 1/2-inch cubes/triangles. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper and bake them for 25 minutes at 400. While the potatoes cook, sauté a whole bunch of minced garlic in olive oil (several cloves). After about 2 minutes, remove from the heat and let the garlic cool a bit before adding 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper. Whisk. In a serving bowl, toss the roasted potatoes with the garlic yogurt dressing, add a heavy dusting of smoked paprika, and sprinkle on some chopped chives.

With only 5 real ingredients – none of which require any real prep – this is such an easy side to throw together. And it’s a at more exciting than your standard tater salad.
