Crispy Sweet Potato Smashed Potatoes with Feta Cream and Honey Drizzle

Print Recipe

Crispy roasted sweet potatoes are smashed, then baked until golden and crunchy, served with a tangy feta cream and a sweet honey drizzle. A perfect side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Smashed Sweet Potatoes:
  • 1.5 lbs small to medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Feta Cream:
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk (or more for desired consistency)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • For the Honey Drizzle:
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the sweet potatoes. Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until it is about 1/2-inch thick.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until edges are crispy and golden.
  6. While the potatoes roast, make the feta cream: In a food processor or blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, milk, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. For the honey drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine honey, butter, and red pepper flakes (if using). Microwave for 20–30 seconds, then stir until smooth.
  8. To serve, spread feta cream on a platter, top with crispy sweet potatoes, and drizzle with honey mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let the smashed potatoes dry in the fridge for 10 minutes before roasting. You can also use regular potatoes if you prefer.
