Description
A delicious twist on traditional potato salad featuring crispy smashed baby potatoes and a creamy dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the baby potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Using a fork or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the smashed potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chives, bacon (if using), and red onion in a large bowl.
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes before adding them to the dressing. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise.
- Add your favorite herbs, like dill or parsley, to the dressing for extra flavor.
