Ingredients

2 lb small sweet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup feta cheese
2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
1 lemon
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
0.25 tsp black pepper

Cooking instructions

Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cook until a knife slides into the centers easily, 20 to 25 minutes. (about 25 min)
Heat the oven to 450°F. Drain the potatoes and let them steam-dry for 5 minutes. (about 5 min) — 450°F
Arrange the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently smash each one to about 1/2-inch thick, then brush with the olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. (about 5 min)
Roast until the edges are deeply browned and crisp, 18 to 22 minutes. (about 20 min) — 450°F
Stir the yogurt with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Top the hot potatoes with the feta and yogurt mixture, then finish with lemon zest and serve. (about 2 min)
