Description

This bold and flavorful twist on classic potato salad combines golden roasted baby potatoes with a creamy herbed dressing — perfect for summer cookouts or picnics.


Ingredients

For the Potatoes:

lbs baby potatoes (red or gold)

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Dressing:

⅓ cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp honey

1 small garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Add-Ins:

¼ cup red onion, finely diced

⅓ cup celery, finely chopped

2 tbsp chopped dill pickles or relish

2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

2 tbsp chives, chopped


Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Boil Potatoes: Boil baby potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Smash & Roast: Transfer potatoes to baking sheet and gently smash with a glass. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Make Dressing: While potatoes roast, whisk together mayo, sour cream, Dijon mustard, vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Combine Salad: In a large bowl, mix roasted potatoes, red onion, celery, pickles, dill, and chives. Pour dressing over and toss gently.

Serve: Enjoy warm, room temp, or chilled.

 

Notes

Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a tangier twist.

Add crumbled feta, goat cheese, bacon, or jalapeños for extra flavor.

A dash of smoked paprika gives a nice smoky finish.

Best with baby red or gold potatoes for texture and flavor.

Easily made vegetarian or dairy-free with the right swaps.
