Description

Golden crispy smashed baby potatoes tossed with fresh cucumber, green onions, and dill, then drizzled with a creamy lemon yogurt dressing. This bold and crunchy potato salad is fresh, satisfying, and perfect for gatherings or quick weeknight meals.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large cucumber, sliced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Boil baby potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes until fork tender. Drain and let dry slightly.
  3. Place potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and gently smash each potato with the bottom of a glass.
  4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until deeply golden and crispy around the edges.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill to create the dressing.
  6. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then transfer to a serving plate. Top with sliced cucumber and chopped green onions.
  7. Drizzle generously with the creamy dressing and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Dry the potatoes well before roasting to maximize crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even browning.
  • Add dressing just before serving to maintain crisp texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
