Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
Boil Potatoes: Place baby potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for 12–15 minutes until they are fork tender but still hold their shape.
Slam Potatoes: Carefully drain and gently smash each potato with the bottom of a glass or your hand to flatten slightly for crisping.
Season and Oil: Arrange the smashed potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then evenly season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Roast Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until the potatoes turn crispy and golden brown on the edges.
Prepare Dressing: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped dill, parsley, diced celery, chopped dill pickles, and sliced green onions. Mix well to create a creamy herb dressing.
Toss Salad: While the potatoes are still warm, gently toss them with the dressing, ensuring each piece is coated with the creamy mixture.
Garnish and Serve: Add additional fresh herbs on top as garnish and serve the salad warm or chilled as desired.

Notes

This dish can be served either warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
For an extra boost of flavor and texture, sprinkle crispy cooked bacon over the salad before serving.
