Smashed Potato Salad

This smashed potato salad is so good. Baby potatoes are boiled and smashed and flavored with olive oil and spices, before going in the oven to bake to golden brown crispy perfection. And then you have the dressing, a mouthwatering blend of Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to bring out the flavor of the potatoes. This makes a lovely side dish for roasted or grilled meats and the range of flavors is so good you’ll crave this again and again.

Forget the grocery store potato salad and whip up this smashed potato salad. It’s so creamy, tasty and delicious you should make a double batch!

Cook Time: 25 minutes 
Cool Time: 5 minutes 
Total Time: 45 minutes 

Ingredients: 

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes 
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
• 1 teaspoon sea salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1/2 small red onion, finely diced 
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped 
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice 

Instructions: 

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. 
2. Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. 
3. Smash Potatoes: Place the cooked potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a flat surface like the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently smash each potato to flatten slightly. 
4. Season Potatoes: Drizzle the smashed potatoes with 1/8 cup olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat. 
5. Bake Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. 
6. Prepare Dressing: While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. 
7. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crispy smashed potatoes, diced red onion, parsley, and dill. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. 
8. Serve: Serve the potato salad warm or at room temperature.
