- 1 Large baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2-2½ lbs baby potatoes whole
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt to the boiling water
Dressing:
- 1¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp grainy mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1½ tbsp lemon zest
- 2 large garlic cloves chopped fine
- 1 shallot chopped fine
- 2 celery sticks chopped fine
- 3 tbsp fresh chives chopped fine
- 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped fine
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: wash the potatoes and pat to dry.
- Blanch the potatoes: bring a large pot of water to boil and add your potatoes, and 1 tsp of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender.Drain and let air dry for 5-10 minutes (the drier the potato the crispier they'll be).In the meantime preheat your oven: to 425 °F.
- Mix: to a large mixing bowl, add the blanched potatoes, 1 tbsp of olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Smash: add the potatoes to a large lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Press each potato firmly with the flat side of a fork or bottom of a small glass until the skin breaks and the potato flattens.Don't worry about making them look pretty, they'll be delicious regardless.
- Bake: for 35-45 minutes or until crispy (this will depend on the size of your potatoes).Once cooked, allow the potatoes to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to slightly cool and crisp up even more.
- Prepare the dressing: to a large mixing bowl whisk together the sour cream, grainy mustard, honey and lemon juice.Next, add the lemon zest, garlic, shallot, celery, chives, dill, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Toss: add the crispy potatoes directly to the dressing and toss to combine until all of the potatoes have been fully covered.
- Garnish: with more fresh dill, lemon zest and black pepper.
