Description

Experience the sensational blend of flavors in this Buttermilk Smashed Potato Salad. With creamy Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, and crispy potatoes, it’s a delightful addition to any gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs yukon gold baby potatoes
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup greek yogurt grass-fed
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • ⅓ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dill
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon flakey sea salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and cover them with cold water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  3. Drain the potatoes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato until slightly flattened but still intact.
  4. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and use a brush to coat them evenly. Season with flakey sea salt. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, parsley, green onions, dill, sea salt, and pepper.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then chop into bite-size pieces. Combine potatoes with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
  7. Chill the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve in a dish at room temperature, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in crispy bacon or other herbs of your choice.
Make a day ahead for the best flavor! This salad tastes even better the next day.
If you’re short on time, you can steam the potatoes instead of boiling them.
