Ingredients

- 2 lb (900 g) small yellow-fleshed potatoes, each about 2 inches (5 cm) long, unpeeled
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 1 cup (250 ml) store-bought mild salsa
- 1 cup (100 g) grated Tex-Mex cheese
- ⅓ cup (65 g) pitted kalamata olives, cut into rounds
- ½ cup (125 ml) 2% plain Greek yogurt
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño chili pepper, seeded and cut into rounds
- Store-bought chipotle hot sauce, for serving

Preparation

- Place a steaming basket in the bottom of a pot. Add enough water to just reach the bottom of the steamer. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Place the potatoes in the steaming basket. Cover and steam just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 25 minutes, making sure there is always enough water in the pot. Let the potatoes cool on a plate.
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On the baking sheet, toss the potatoes with half (2 tbsp/30 ml) of the oil. Arrange the potatoes spread out in a single layer. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, slightly crush the potatoes until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are golden, turning them over halfway through.
- Top each potato with salsa. Garnish with the cheese and olives. Bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Top the potatoes with the yogurt. Garnish with the green onions and jalapeño. Serve with hot sauce.
