Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs mini yellow potatoes
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • ½ cup green onions diced, optional
  • 1 red onion diced, optional
  • 1 red bell pepper diced, optional
  • 1 handful fresh dill chopped, optional
  • 1 handful fresh parsley chopped, optional

High Protein Dressing

  • 1 cup extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt I used coconut yogurt
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp salt

Alternative Yogurt Tzatziki Dressing

  • 4 tbsp vegan yogurt I used Icelandic Provisions
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • ½ cup dill chopped
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • 5 chives diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cucumber diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil. Add your potatoes, and boil for 7 to 8 minutes, until tender. Drain the potatoes, and transfer to the baking sheet. Using a cup, smash the potatoes, then using a bbq brush, brush with olive oil. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Alternatively, you can air fry at 450F for 20 to 25 minutes. 

Traditional Style

  • In a blender, combine the tofu, mustard, yogurt, garlic, lemon and salt, along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm water.  Blend until a creamy sauce is formed. 
  • Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a bowl with the creamy dressing of choice and stir. Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. 

Tzatziki Style

  • Alternatively, make the easy yogurt dressing by combining the yogurt, lemon, mustard, dill, parsley, salt, red onion, chives and garlic.
  • Transfer to a bowl with the cucumber and dressing, and combine until coated.
