Description

This viral smashed potato salad combines crispy, golden potatoes with a tangy, creamy dressing and fresh herbs for a texture-packed, flavor-loaded side dish everyone will crave.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved if large
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Place potatoes on the baking sheet and gently smash them with a fork or masher.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, vinegar, honey, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Stir in chopped red onion, parsley, and dill.
  8. Toss warm crispy potatoes with the dressing until fully coated.
  9. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Notes

  • Let potatoes steam dry after boiling for better crispiness.
  • Adjust dressing flavors with more vinegar or honey to taste.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or skillet to restore crisp texture.
  • Top with extra herbs and flaky salt before serving for added flair.
