Incredible Smashed Potato Salad is a hearty, rustic twist on traditional potato salad, featuring crispy roasted smashed potatoes tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing with fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables. It offers a satisfying mix of textures and bold flavors, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes or new potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently smash with a glass or potato masher.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  5. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. Stir in chopped celery, red onion, and herbs.
  7. Let roasted potatoes cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
  8. Toss the crispy potatoes gently with the dressing until coated.
  9. Garnish with green onions, extra herbs, and paprika if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Smash potatoes gently to avoid breaking them apart.
  • Combine potatoes and dressing just before serving for best texture.
  • Use vegan substitutes for a dairy-free version.
  • Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness if serving later.
  • Great for picnics, barbecues, or brunch spreads.
