Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized potatoes, cubed
  • 1 head garlic
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature (125 grams)
  • 60 milliliters (¼ cup) of premium extra virgin olive oil.
  • Dash of sweet smoked Spanish paprika
  • Handful of finely chopped chives
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and wrap in foil.

  3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash them until smooth, then add the Greek yogurt, the remaining olive oil, a dash of smoked paprika, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  4. Combine and Garnish: Place the roasted potatoes in a serving bowl, drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce, and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with chopped chives and a light dusting of smoked paprika for a burst of color and flavor.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the creamy garlic Spanish potatoes warm as a side dish or tapas, and enjoy the comforting flavors!
