  • 2 tbsp milk, your choice

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line Sheet Pan with Sheet Pan Liner.
  2. Place potatoes in Multipurpose or Round Steamer. Cover and microwave on high 6–8 min. They should be tender.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add 1⁄2 tbsp seasoning, yogurt, and milk. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  4. Remove potatoes from microwave; toss with 2 tbsp oil and remaining seasoning. Spread in a single layer on pan.
  5. Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, smash potatoes down to about 1⁄4"–1⁄2" thick. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp oil and any oil that may be left in the steamer. Roast 10–15 min, until edges start to crisp up. Drizzle sauce on top; serve immediately.
