Smashed Pickle-y Potato Salad -



MAKE TIME: 1 hour 10 minutes | SERVES: 2-3 | GLUTEN FREE | DAIRY FREE | (optional) VEGAN |
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs baby gold potatoes
1 cup pickle juice
1/4 cup olive oil
Garlic powder
Onion power
Salt
Sauce:
1/3 cup mayo (can use vegan or regular)
1/3 cup unsweetened yogurt (can use dairy free or regular)
1/3 cup diced pickles
1 garlic clove, minced
1 TBSP freshly chopped dill (+ more for topping)
1 TBSP freshly chopped chives (+ more for topping)
2 TBSP pickle juice
Directions:
Start by filling a large pot with water and 1 cup of pickle juice. Place on the stove on medium-high heat and bring to a boil
Once the water starts boiling, add in the potatoes. Boil for 20-25 minutes, until fork tender
Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain the water and pat the potatoes dry
Preheat oven to 420F. To a large baking sheet, evenly spread 2 TBSP of olive oil, then add the potatoes. Using the bottom of a jar or cup, smash all of the potatoes
Cover the smashed potatoes in 2 TBSP of olive oil (I recommend using your hands or a brush to make sure the olive oil is evenly spread onto all of the potatoes) and top with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt (measure with your heart <3)
Bake the potatoes at 420F for 40 minutes, flipping halfway
While the potatoes are baking, make your sauce. To a bowl add 1/3 cup of mayo and 1/3 cup of unsweetened yogurt (can be dairy free or regular)
Thinly dice about 5-6 pickles, to equal 1/3 cup. Add the diced pickles to the mayo bowl then add in 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 TBSP of freshly chopped dill, 1 TBSP of freshly chopped chives, and 2 TBSP of pickle juice
Use a spoon or a whisk to mix the sauce until smooth
Once the potatoes are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl, and then pour in the sauce. Mix until all of the potatoes are evenly coated
Top with a sprinkle of fresh dill and fresh chives and then enjoy!!
