Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Feta cheese block in brine
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice + 1 tsp zest
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp Hot Honey
  • Optional: Fresh thyme or cracked black pepper

Method
 

  1. Slice Potatoes: Slice sweet potatoes thinly using a mandoline. Toss with avocado oil and salt.
  2. Bake/Air Fry: Bake at 400°F for 15-20 mins (turning once) or Air Fry at 375°F for 10 mins until crisp.
  3. Whip Feta: Combine feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon, and garlic in a food processor. Blend for 2-3 minutes until silky smooth.
  4. Assemble: Spread the dip in a shallow bowl. Create a well in the center and fill with a generous drizzle of hot honey.
  5. Serve: Place the warm sweet potato chips around the bowl and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Feta Quality: Use feta in brine (preferably sheep’s milk). Avoid pre-crumbled varieties; they contain anti-caking agents that prevent the dip from becoming silky smooth.
  • Temperature: For the creamiest texture, let the feta and Greek yogurt sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before whipping.
  • Chip Crispness: To ensure maximum crunch, soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat completely dry before oiling. This removes excess starch.
  • Storage: Store dip in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If the dip firms up too much in the fridge, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water or olive oil before serving.
  • Hot Honey Shortcut: If you don't have store-bought hot honey, microwave 2 tbsp honey with 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for 20 seconds.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: You can whip the feta 24 hours in advance, but bake the sweet potato chips day-of to prevent them from turning soft.
