Ingredients

Scale

Smashed Potatoes:

  • 810 baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Herby Green Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (sub dairy-free sour cream)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cover the bottom of a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil Potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add whole potatoes to the pot and boil for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain potatoes.
  3. Make Sauce: While the potatoes are boiling, put the Herby Green Sauce ingredients in a small food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Smash Potatoes: Place the boiled potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and use the flat bottom of a glass to smash each one. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake: Move the baking sheet to the preheated oven to bake for 20-22 minutes.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the smashed potatoes with a drizzle of Herby Green Sauce on top!

Notes

  • Dairy-Free: simply use a dairy-free sour cream and omit the parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • Potatoes: highly recommend baby Yukon gold potatoes but feel free to swap out for another type of potato, just make sure they are small in size.
