Description

A delicious and crispy take on potato salad, featuring smashed potatoes mixed with a creamy dressing and fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold or baby potatoes
  • ¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, or 2 teaspoons fresh, chopped
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise, full-fat or light
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes and place them in a pot, covering with cold water and adding 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil and then simmer until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Smash the Potatoes: Drain and let the potatoes steam dry, then smash each to about ½-inch thickness.
  4. Season and Roast: Drizzle with olive oil, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary, sprinkle over potatoes, and toss gently.
  5. Roast Until Crispy: Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  8. Assemble the Potato Salad: Toss the cooled potatoes with the dressing, adding celery and red onion, and stir gently.
  9. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Mix in parsley, adjust seasoning, and transfer to a serving dish, garnishing with chives if desired.

Notes

  • Best served immediately for maximum crispiness.
  • Can be refrigerated, but the potatoes may soften slightly.
