Description

A straightforward recipe for potato salad using smashed, roasted potatoes for texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs small potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Toss the small potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until tender.
  4. Remove potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  5. Place the potatoes on a clean surface and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass or a potato masher until flattened but still mostly intact.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, dill, and white vinegar.
  7. Gently fold the smashed potatoes into the dressing mixture until coated.
  8. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
