Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dressing and Mix-ins
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 dill pickles, chopped
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.
