Ingredients

For the smashed potatoes:​

  • 1 kilogram baby white potatoes
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

For the dressing:​

  • 1 cup dairy free Greek-style yoghurt
  • 1 cup grated cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil (keep an eye on it to prevent boiling over). Boil for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and a fork or metal skewer slides in easily. Drain well and pat dry with a clean tea towel.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly drizzle some olive oil over two large baking trays. Place the potatoes on the trays and, using a glass or another flat-bottomed object, gently press down to smash each one. Drizzle the tops with a little more olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently move the potatoes around to ensure they’re evenly coated in oil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes and your oven. They're ready when they're golden brown and super crispy.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, make the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Mix well, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Once the potatoes are crisp and golden, roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl with the dressing.

Notes

Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh while the potatoes are warm and crispy. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The potatoes will soften slightly as they sit, but the flavour will still be delicious.
