Creamy and flavorful, these Parsley Smashed New Potatoes are mouth-watering, and wonderful as an appetizer or a side dish!

Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds new or baby red potatoes (1 to 2 inch diameter), large ones quartered
  • 2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 2 scallions cut in half lengthwise and finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

  4. Mix the cooked potatoes into the yogurt mixture, breaking them up with a fork until they crumble apart and lightly clump together.

Freshly dug, true “new” potatoes are so creamy and flavorful they hardly need any additional ingredients to make them spectacular. Here, we tumble them with a bit of butter, tangy yogurt, scallions and just-chopped fresh parsley. If new potatoes are not available, use any small red potatoes.
