Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (mini yellow potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 dill pickle, finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1–2 scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 7-8 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
  • Dry the potatoes and place them on the baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to gently smash them.
  • Brush smashed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Prepare the dressing by whisking together 1 tablespoon olive oil, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and parsley. Stir in finely chopped dill pickle and shallot. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Combine roasted potatoes with the dressing, tossing gently to coat. Reserve crispy bits for garnish.
  • Garnish with scallions and reserved crispy potato bits before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For added crunch, include diced celery or crispy bacon bits.
  • To achieve extra crispiness, dust potatoes with cornstarch before roasting.
  • Substitute parsley with fresh dill or chives for a different herb profile.
