Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to season
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain well.
  • Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheets. Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, gently smash each potato until about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are deep golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  • While the potatoes cool slightly, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add the green onions, dill, and parsley to the dressing and stir to combine.
  • Once the potatoes are cool, gently fold them into the dressing mixture, leaving some pieces intact and allowing a few crispy bits to remain exposed.
  • Serve immediately for maximum crispness, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, reserve a handful of smashed potatoes and scatter them over the top just before serving.
  • Crumbled bacon makes a great addition.
  • If making ahead, store the potatoes and dressing separately and combine just before serving.
  • Baby Yukon Gold potatoes provide the best balance of creamy centers and crispy edges.
