These Creamy Garlic Spanish Potatoes, are packed with flavors, super easy to make and done in just 30 minutes. Serve them as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish, next to some Spanish Eggs for an incredible meal.
My favorite part about these creamy potatoes, is that they´re super healthy. Yes you heard that correctly, creamy and healthy. The secret? Using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.
To make this dish I used new potatoes, but you can use any potatoes you like. Just try using potatoes that are more waxy than starchy. As they keep their shape better once they are cooked.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The most important part about this recipe is the Greek yogurt. Make sure it´s at room temperature, otherwise it will curd. I used plain plain full fat Greek yogurt, but you can use low-fat if you like.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:

My husband is allergic to dairy. What could I use as a substitute for the Greek yogurt?
Also I live in Lisbon, Portugal. I have gone to several stores and cannot find sweet smoked Spanish paprika, smoked Spanish paprika, or hot Spanish paprika. Do you have any suggestions on where I could find it?
Thank you

You can use a dairy free yogurt such as soy yogurt. You can get some sweet smoked Spanish paprika on amazon.es

You said it so many times but I didnt let the yogurt get to room temperature! It was still a bit chilly by the time it was ready to go into the pan with the garlic.
Still a great dish and I can’t wait to try it again! I just hate that I messed it up, but I guess lesson learned.
