  1. Pock potatoes with a fork.
  2. Add to a pot, covering with a few inches of water.
  3. On medium high heat, bring water to a rapid simmer with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and leftover dill stems.
  4. Reduce to medium and gently simmer for approximately 15 minutes until a knife slides through easily.
  5. While the potatoes are cooking, make the sauce by whisking together yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, curry powder, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and finely chopped dill. Set aside.
  6. When potatoes are done, pat them dry and move them to a parchment lined tray and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Gently smash potatoes with a large glass or jar until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Coat with melted duck fat and sprinkle salt on both sides, using the remaining teaspoon of kosher salt.
  9. Cook at 425 F in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes and broil for an additional few minutes to crisp them more if desired.
  10. When done, garnish with sauce, more dill and a sprinkle of balti curry powder.

Notes

In place of duck fat, you can also use bacon fat or rendered chicken fat. A neutral oil will work as well.
