Crispy Smashed Potato Salad

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Crispy Smashed Potato Salad is the bold, texture-packed side dish your table has been missing. Golden, oven-roasted potatoes meet a tangy, creamy dressing infused with pickles, herbs, and shallots for a crunchy, flavorful twist on the classic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs baby yellow potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 dill pickle, finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1–2 scallions, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 7–8 minutes, just until fork tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Pat potatoes dry and arrange on the sheet. Smash each potato to about 1/4 inch thick using a potato masher or glass. Brush with 2 tbsp olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 45–60 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden and crispy.
  3. While potatoes roast, whisk together yogurt, mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Stir in chopped pickle and shallot. Season to taste. Cover and refrigerate.
  4. Let roasted potatoes cool for 10 minutes. Save a few extra crispy pieces for garnish. Gently toss potatoes with the dressing in a large bowl until well coated. Top with scallions and reserved crispy bits. Serve warm.

Notes

Prep the dressing up to a day ahead. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat roasted potatoes in the oven to revive crispiness before tossing with dressing.
