Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ small red onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let them cool for a few minutes.
  • Smash the potatoes gently on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher.
  • Season and bake the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Make the dressing while the potatoes are in the oven. Just whisk together Greek yogurt, mayo, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Combine it all in a big bowl—crispy smashed potatoes, red onion, parsley, dill, and that creamy dressing. Toss gently until it’s all coated.
  • Serve warm or room temp. It’s tasty either way!
