Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs yukon gold baby potatoes
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup greek yogurt grass-fed
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • ⅓ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dill
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon flakey sea salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot, covering them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil, cooking until fork-tender for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Drain the potatoes and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently smash each potato with the bottom of a glass until slightly flattened but still intact.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and brush it evenly. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, parsley, green onions, dill, sea salt, and pepper.
  6. Once roasted, allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then chop into bite-size pieces, leaving some larger and smaller. Combine potatoes with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
  7. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors. When ready to serve, transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

Potatoes can be made ahead of time and served chilled.
Ensure to allow the salad to refrigerate for enough time to enhance the flavors.
Feel free to add other herbs or spices according to your preference.
