Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Baby Potatoes Choose mini yellow potatoes for their creamy texture.
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Use avocado oil for a milder taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Essential seasoning.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper Essential seasoning.
For the Dressing
  • 3/4 cup Greek Yogurt Can be substituted with sour cream.
  • 1/2 cup Kewpie Mayonnaise Regular mayonnaise works fine or opt for vegan mayo.
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard Adds a zesty kick.
  • 1/2 lemon Lemon Juice Fresh is always better than bottled.
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced.
For Salad Additions
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Chopped, substitute with chives or basil as desired.
  • 1 Dill Pickle Finely chopped.
  • 1 Shallot Finely chopped.
  • 1-2 Scallions For garnish, optional.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, and add your baby potatoes. Cook for 7-8 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  2. On a lined baking sheet, place each cooled potato and use a glass bottom or potato masher to smash them to about 1/4 inch thick. Brush each with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast the smashed potatoes for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Monitor closely towards the end.
  4. While roasting, combine Greek yogurt, Kewpie mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a bowl. Stir until smooth and adjust seasoning.
  5. Once potatoes are slightly cooled, mix them with the dressing and toss gently to coat. Reserve some crispy bits for topping.
  6. Garnish with reserved crispy potato bits and chopped scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
