Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes

  • 2 lb baby potatoes perfect for roasting
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt for boiling and roasting
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil for roasting
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a subtle smokiness

For the Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.5 cup light sour cream for tanginess
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar for acidity
  • 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard for a zesty kick
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper for spice

For the Veggies

  • 1 medium cucumber diced
  • 5-6 medium radishes cut into quarter slices
  • 1 rib celery diced
  • 1 large green onion finely diced
  • 0.25 cup gherkins/pickles chopped
  • 0.25 cup dill chopped

Instructions
 

Basic Steps

  • Add whole baby potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt to a medium pot, covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 7-10 minutes until easily pierced with a knife. Strain and let them dry slightly in a sieve.
  • Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease them with olive oil. Set aside.
  • Transfer the cooked potatoes to the baking sheets, spreading them out evenly. Smash down each potato flat using the back of a glass or jar.
  • Brush the smashed potatoes generously with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Roast for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dressing ingredients: Parmesan cheese, light sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  • Dice and chop the cucumber, radishes, celery, green onions, and dill.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked and slightly cooled, add the prepared vegetables and herbs to the dressing, mix well, and gently fold in the crispy potatoes.

Notes

Optional: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra zest. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
