Crispy Potato Salad (Printable Version)

You get crunchy smashed potatoes, a pop of citrusy dressing, and herby goodness all mixed together for a craveable dish that’s big on flavor and crunch.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Fresh Herbs and Garnish

01 - 1 tablespoon capers (totally optional)
02 - 2 green onions, sliced up
03 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

→ Dressing

04 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
06 - 60 ml mayonnaise

→ Seasoning and Oil

07 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - 3 tablespoons olive oil

→ Salad Base

10 - 680 g baby potatoes

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Top with more fresh herbs if you like, and enjoy it warm or after it’s cooled to room temp.
02 - Once the potatoes are crispy, dump them into a big bowl. Add in the dressing, toss in parsley, green onions, and some capers. Gently mix till everything’s covered.
03 - Mix up mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until it looks smooth.
04 - Get your oven to 220°C. Drain the cooked potatoes, spread them on a tray. Use a fork to press each one flat, drizzle on olive oil, and bake them about 20–25 minutes so they turn extra crispy and brown.
05 - Fill a big pot with salted water, throw in the potatoes, and let them boil around 12–15 minutes till a fork slides in easily.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - A bit of grated Parmesan takes this up a notch in both flavor and crunch.
02 - You can make this ahead—just keep it chilled until you want it or let it sit at room temp.
