Crispy Smashed Potato Salad
A delightful mix of crispy smashed potatoes, creamy dressing, and fresh herbs perfect for weeknight dinners or as a side dish for grilled meats.
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (mini yellow potatoes)
For the Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt can substitute with sour cream
- 1/2 cup kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 dill pickle finely chopped
- 1 shallot finely chopped
Garnish
- 1-2 pieces scallions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of well-salted cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 7-8 minutes until just fork-tender.
- Drain and let cool slightly.
- Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel, then transfer them to the baking sheet. Gently smash each potato to about 1/4 inch thick with a potato masher or the bottom of a glass.
- Brush with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Making the Dressing
- While the potatoes cook, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with Greek yogurt, mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pickle and shallot, taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate.
Assembly
- When the potatoes are done, remove the tray from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Save some crispy brown potato bits for the topping, then transfer them to a large bowl and gently toss with the herbed yogurt dressing until evenly coated.
- Garnish with chopped scallions and crispy potato bits. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Crispy smashed potato salad can easily be made ahead of time; it actually tastes better the next day. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
