Ingredients

Main

  • 1.5 lb baby gold or yellow potatoes, whole and unpeeled (or baby red potatoes)
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (plus more for salting water)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (more to taste)
  • ½ cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • ½ cup red onions, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped (loosely packed)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp chives, chopped

  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425℉ (218°C). Boil potatoes in salted water for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and cool.
  • Once cooled, smash potatoes on a baking sheet, coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 40-50 minutes until crispy.
  • Mix dressing ingredients in a large bowl, then add chopped red onions, herbs, and pickles.
  • Combine roasted potatoes with the dressing mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  • Serve immediately or chilled, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
