Instructions

  2. Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes until edges are crispy and tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, lemon zest, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until well mixed. Chill until ready to serve.
  5. Step 5: Remove potatoes from oven, brush with remaining miso glaze, and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately with herbed yogurt dip on the side for dipping.
