Perfect for BBQs, picnics, or a fun dinner side, this dish blends roasted smashed potatoes with a tangy mustard dressing and fresh herbs for bold flavor in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • Optional: crispy bacon bits or crumbled feta for topping


Instructions

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

  2. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes), then drain.

  3. Transfer potatoes to the baking sheet and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass.

  4. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden.

  5. While potatoes bake, mix mayo, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and chopped red onion in a small bowl.

  6. Let potatoes cool slightly, then gently toss with dressing and parsley.

  7. Top with bacon or feta if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra crisp, broil the smashed potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end.

  • The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Try adding chopped dill pickles or capers for extra tang!
