Crispy Smashed Potato Salad: The Ultimate Crunchy Twist to Your Summer Side Dish

Learn how to make delicious Crispy Smashed Potato Salad. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (substitute with your favorite cheese if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, gently smash each potato with the back of a fork or a potato masher.
  4. Place the smashed potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
  6. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dressing by combining sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped green onions, and dill in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
  7. Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  8. In a large serving bowl, gently toss the potatoes with the dressing until evenly coated. Fold in the bacon bits and shredded cheese.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the praise from your hungry crowd!
