Description
A delicious and crispy smashed potato salad that combines the flavors of garlic, onion, and smoked paprika, topped with a creamy dressing and fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (optional)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, then place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- On a large baking sheet, arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the dressing, chopped chives, crumbled bacon (if using), and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the potatoes. Gently toss to combine.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix before baking.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise for a lighter dressing option.
