- 2 lb baby Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup romaine lettuce finely chopped
- 1 cup dill pickles chopped
- 1/4 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- Dressing:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle juice
- 1 small garlic clove grated
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- 2. Boil potatoes in salted water 15–20 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and let steam-dry 5 minutes.
- 3. Transfer potatoes to sheet. Use a glass or masher to gently smash to about 1/3 inch thick.
- 4. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast 35–45 minutes, flipping once, until deeply golden and crispy.
- 5. Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, mayo, Dijon, pickle juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and dill until smooth.
- 6. In a large bowl, combine romaine, pickles, red onion, and dill. Add most of the crispy potatoes and toss with dressing, reserving some potatoes to garnish the top.
- 7. Serve right away while potatoes are still crisp.
Notes
- Smash potatoes thin for maximum crisp.
- Let potatoes cool slightly before tossing so they stay crunchy.
- Add dressing just before serving to preserve texture.
