Method

  1. 1

    Boil the baby potatoes for 20–30 minutes until fork‑tender, then drain and let steam dry for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Place the potatoes on a large baking tray and gently smash each one with the back of a spoon.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the smashed potatoes with 6–7 tbsp olive oil and season with Maldon Chilli Sea Salt to taste, 2 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tsp smoked paprika.

  4. 4

    Roast at 400°F fan‑forced for about 1 hour, rotating the tray after 40 minutes, until the potatoes are deeply golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    For the whipped feta, blend 600 g feta, 450 g thick Greek yoghurt, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 grated garlic cloves, the zest of 1.5 lemons, and 3 tbsp lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

  6. 6

    For the hot honey, gently warm 180 g runny honey with 2 tsp lightly crushed Maldon Chilli Sea Salt over low heat for 1–2 minutes (do not boil), then remove from heat and let infuse.

  7. 7

    Spread the whipped feta onto a large serving platter, arrange the crispy potatoes on top, and drizzle generously with the warm hot honey.

  8. 8

    Finish with finely chopped fresh chives, the zest of half a lemon, and an extra sprinkle of Maldon Chilli Sea Salt.

Tips while you cook

Let potatoes dry before smashing
After boiling, drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for 5 minutes before smashing.
Rotate tray for even crispness
Rotate the baking tray after 40 minutes of roasting.
Warm honey briefly
Gently warm the honey with salt over low heat for only 1–2 minutes and do not let it boil.
Spread feta before adding potatoes
Spread the whipped feta on the serving platter first, then arrange the crispy potatoes on top.
