How to Make Crispy Potato Bites with Herb Yogurt Sauce:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes or wedges.
3. Place the potato pieces on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
4. Sprinkle the potatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and toss again to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 2: Bake the Potatoes

1. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t crowded (this will help them get crispy).
2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 3: Prepare the Herb Yogurt Sauce

1. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the herb yogurt sauce.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, fresh dill, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or more herbs for a stronger flavor.

Step 4: Serve

1. Once the potatoes are out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes.
2. Serve the crispy potato bites hot with the herb yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
3. Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness.

Tips for Success:

• Cut Evenly: Make sure the potato pieces are cut into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet to get them crispy. Overcrowding will result in soggy potatoes.
• Use Parchment Paper: For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with parchment paper. It also helps to prevent sticking.
• Sauce Variations: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce for a spicy kick or use Greek yogurt with honey for a sweeter version.

What to Serve With These Potato Bites:

• Grilled Meats: Serve alongside grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a delicious side dish.
• Salads: Pair with a fresh green salad to balance out the richness of the potatoes.
• Appetizers: These make a perfect party appetizer or snack, especially when served with a variety of dipping sauces.

Storing & Reheating:

• Store: Keep leftover crispy potato bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: To retain their crispiness, reheat the potatoes in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I use regular potatoes? Yes, you can use larger potatoes like russets. Just cut them into smaller pieces and adjust the baking time as needed.
• Can I make these ahead of time? The potatoes are best served fresh, but you can prep them ahead of time by cutting the potatoes and storing them in the fridge until ready to bake.

Conclusion:

These Crispy Potato Bites with Herb Yogurt Sauce are the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful potatoes and a tangy, creamy herb sauce. Whether as an appetizer, snack, or side dish, they’ll quickly become a favorite in your recipe collection!
