Description

A delightful salad featuring crispy smashed baby potatoes topped with a creamy dressing, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley, dill, or chives
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions
  • Optional: diced pickles or relish

Instructions

  1. Wash the baby potatoes under cold water and submerge in a pot with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the cooled potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and smash each potato to about half an inch thick.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
  5. While the potatoes roast, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, herbs, and green onions in a bowl. Season to taste.
  6. Toss the roasted potatoes with the dressing while still warm and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For make-ahead tips, roast potatoes a day in advance, but combine with dressing only before serving. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for the crispiest results.
