Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1.5 lb baby gold or yellow potatoes, whole and unpeeled (or baby red potatoes)
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (plus more for salting water)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (more to taste)
  • ½ cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • ½ cup red onions, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp chives, chopped
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp mayo (made with avocado or olive oil)
  • 3.5 Tbsp lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (more to taste)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425℉ (218°C). Boil potatoes in salted water for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and cool.
  • Once cooled, smash potatoes on a baking sheet, coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 40-50 minutes until crispy.
  • Meanwhile, mix dressing ingredients in a large bowl, then add chopped red onions, dill, parsley, and pickles.
  • When potatoes are crispy, add them to the bowl and toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately for best crispiness. Tips: leave space between potatoes on the baking sheet for better crisping.

Notes
