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

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. 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.
  3. Slam Potatoes: Carefully drain and gently smash each potato with the bottom of a glass or your hand to flatten slightly for crisping.
  4. 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.
  5. Roast Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until the potatoes turn crispy and golden brown on the edges.
  6. 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.
  7. Toss Salad: While the potatoes are still warm, gently toss them with the dressing, ensuring each piece is coated with the creamy mixture.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Add additional fresh herbs on top as garnish and serve the salad warm or chilled as desired.

Notes
