Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs baby gold or red potatoes

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion (optional)

  • Crumbled bacon or feta (optional toppings)

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Smash Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place potatoes on a greased baking sheet and gently smash with the bottom of a glass.

  3. Bake Crispy: Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 25–30 minutes or until crispy and golden.

  4. Make Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic, herbs, and red onion.

  5. Combine: Toss crispy potatoes with dressing. Top with crumbled bacon or feta if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra crisp, broil the potatoes for 3-5 minutes at the end.

  • Great served warm, room temp, or even cold the next day.

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter option.
