Description

A delightful mix of crispy smashed spuds, creamy dressing, and bursts of flavor that transforms the classic potato salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • Salt (for boiling)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions (sliced thin)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley (chopped)
  • Cracked black pepper (for garnish)
  • Paprika (for garnish)
  • Extra dill or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While boiling, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard for the dressing. Season to taste.
  3. Once cooked, drain and let potatoes cool slightly. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  4. Smash the potatoes on a lined baking sheet until about ½ inch thick.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Combine the crispy potatoes with the dressing, green onions, and fresh herbs in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently.
  7. Serve warm or chill after marinating in the fridge. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with cracked black pepper and paprika before serving.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute mayonnaise and yogurt with plant-based alternatives. This dish is great both warm and chilled.
