Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Dill pickle, chopped
  • Shallot, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 7–8 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Drain and let cool slightly before patting dry. Smash each potato to about 1/4 inch thick on the baking sheet.
  4. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 45–60 minutes until crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
