Place the baby Yukon Gold potatoes in a pot of salted water and boil until fork-tender, about 15\u201320 minutes. Drain well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smash the Potatoes:<\/strong><br \/>\nLightly grease a baking sheet. Place boiled potatoes on the sheet.

Roast in the oven for 25\u201330 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare Whipped Feta:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile the potatoes roast, combine feta and cream cheese (or Greek yogurt) in a food processor or blender. Whip until smooth and creamy. Adjust texture with a little milk if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve &amp; Drizzle:<\/strong><br \/>\nRemove potatoes from the oven. Dollop or spread the whipped feta over the crispy potatoes. Drizzle generously with hot honey. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enjoy:<\/strong><br \/>\nServe immediately as a decadent appetizer, side dish, or snack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Whipped Feta and Hot Honey Drizzle Ingredients 1.5 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes 3 tbsp olive&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3237"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3239,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3237\/revisions\/3239"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
