• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Tools You’ll Need:

How to Make Crispy Potato Bites with Herb Yogurt Sauce:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Wash and cut the baby potatoes into small, bite-sized chunks.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2: Roast the Potatoes

1. Spread the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can check for crispiness by poking a fork into the potatoes—they should be tender inside and crispy outside.

Step 3: Make the Herb Yogurt Sauce

1. While the potatoes are roasting, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dill, and chives in a bowl.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

1. Once the potato bites are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
3. Serve the crispy potato bites hot, with the herb yogurt sauce for dipping.

Tips for Success:

• Uniform Size: Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
• Crispier Potatoes: To get extra crispy potatoes, make sure they’re spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.
• Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the potatoes for a little heat.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the herb yogurt sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before serving.
• Substitute with Sweet Potatoes: If you prefer sweet potatoes, you can easily swap them for regular potatoes. Just note that they may need a slightly longer baking time.

What to Serve With These Crispy Potato Bites:

• Toppings: Top the potato bites with grated cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
• Veggies: Serve with a fresh veggie platter like cucumber slices, carrots, and bell peppers for a crunchy contrast.
• Dips: You can serve the herb yogurt sauce with other dips like tzatziki or even a spicy mayo.

Storing & Reheating:

• Store: If you have any leftovers, store the crispy potato bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat the potatoes in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until crispy again. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I make this without the yogurt sauce? Yes, the crispy potato bites are delicious on their own, or you can serve them with ketchup, ranch, or any other dipping sauce of your choice.
• Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes? Absolutely! Just cut them into bite-sized pieces and adjust the cooking time as needed.
• Can I bake the potatoes in advance? Yes, you can bake the potatoes a day ahead, and then reheat them in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

These Crispy Potato Bites with Herb Yogurt Sauce are a perfect combination of crispy, savory potatoes and a cool, refreshing dipping sauce. They’re simple to make, full of flavor, and perfect for any occasion—whether you’re hosting a party, meal prepping for the week, or just enjoying a delicious snack.
