  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced pickles, fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub the baby potatoes. Place them in a large pot with cold water and a pinch of salt. Boil for 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and smash each potato to about half an inch thick.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the dressing.
  5. Once the potatoes are warm and crispy, toss them gently with the dressing. Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes.
