Description

This Viral Crispy Potato Salad features tender baby potatoes that are boiled, smashed, and then roasted to crispy perfection. Combined with a creamy herb dressing made from Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh dill, parsley, and crunchy vegetables like celery, green onions, and dill pickles, this salad offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. It’s an ideal side dish for barbecues, potlucks, or family meals, served warm or chilled.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dressing

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 dill pickles, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting the potatoes later.
  2. Boil the potatoes. Place the baby potatoes into a pot of boiling water and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are fork tender but not falling apart.
  3. Slam the potatoes. Carefully drain the potatoes and then gently smash each one to flatten slightly, allowing more surface area to crisp up.
  4. Season and oil. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor.
  5. Roast the potatoes. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast them in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown on the edges.
  6. Prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped parsley, diced celery, chopped dill pickles, and sliced green onions. Stir well to create a creamy herb dressing.
  7. Toss the salad. While the potatoes are still warm, toss them gently with the herb dressing to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish and serve. Add extra fresh herbs on top for garnish and serve the salad warm or chilled as desired.

Notes

  • This salad is delicious served either warm or chilled according to your preference.
  • For added flavor and crunch, sprinkle crispy bacon bits on top before serving.
