Ingredients

Scale

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (red or gold)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tsp honey (optional)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley

  • Optional: crumbled bacon or capers for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Boil potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.

  3. Smash potatoes gently with the bottom of a glass or mason jar on a baking sheet.

  4. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

  5. Make the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, honey, garlic, green onions, and herbs in a bowl.

  6. Cool roasted potatoes slightly, then toss with the dressing in a large bowl.

  7. Garnish with toppings like crumbled bacon or more herbs. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • You can make the dressing ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

  • For extra crispiness, broil the smashed potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes.

  • Add a handful of chopped pickles or red onions for extra tang.
