Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds new baby potatoes skin on
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup dill pickles diced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup fresh dill or 2 tsp dried
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp pickle juice
  • 1 Tbsp mustard

Instructions

  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, boil the baby potatoes for about 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain them well.
  • While the potatoes boil, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the boiled potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using the flat bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently smash each potato until flattened.
  • Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, diced dill pickles, mayo, fresh dill, lemon juice, pickle juice, and mustard. Mix until well combined.
  • Once the potatoes are crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the prepared dressing and gently toss until the potatoes are evenly coated. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Baby potatoes work best for this recipe because they hold their shape well and offer a creamy texture after smashing and baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of salt, pepper, or even add more paprika for extra flavor according to your taste preferences.
  • This salad can be enjoyed warm or chilled, making it a versatile dish for different occasions.
  • You can prepare the smashed potatoes and dressing ahead of time and assemble just before serving to save time.
  • For extra crunch and flavor, consider adding diced cucumbers, celery, or red onions to the salad.
