  • 2.5 lbs Baby yellow potatoes (cleaned)
  • 4 tbs Olive Oil
  • ¾ cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbs Dijon mustard
  • ¾ cup Sour cream
  • 1 medium Lemon juice

  • ¼ 4 Fresh parsey, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbs Garlic powder (divided)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°
  • First, boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
  • Then, drain them from the water, and add them to a parchment paper lined baking sheet that’s been drizzled in 2 tbs of olive oil.
  • Now, place a small piece of parchment paper on top of each potato and gently press down with a flat bottom glass just until the potatoes are smashed down.
  • Next, drizzle the tops of the potatoes with the remaining olive oil and generously season them with salt, pepper and half of the garlic powder.
  • Then place them into the oven until the potatoes until they are brown and crispy then set them aside. This should take about 40 minutes.
  • Now, in a large bowl, add all of the other ingredients and stir them together until they’re evenly combined.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked and cooled for about 5 minutes, place the crispy smashed potatoes onto a cutting board and give them a rough chop.
  • Then, place most of the potatoes into the bowl (save some potatoes for the top) and toss them into the sauce.
  • Finally, sprinkle the rest of the potatoes onto the top and serve. Enjoy!
