Smashed Potato Salad With Tzatziki Dressing Recipe

Democracy Dies in Darkness

By Anna Luisa Rodriguez

This TikTok-inspired recipe uses the crispy texture of smashed potatoes to create an unorthodox but delicious potato salad. The creamy, cooling dressing is based on tzatziki, featuring a combination of Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill and lemon juice, but dill pickles and red onion add another pop of briny, acidic flavor. Though it’s a bit of a time investment, most of the cooking is hands-off, and the unique texture of the salad is worth the wait. It’s a twist on tradition that is sure to be hit at cookouts, barbecues and potlucks.

Storage: The texture of the salad is best when fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.

  1. Step 1

    Make the potatoes: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Step 2

    In a large (at least 6-quart), lidded pot, combine the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the salt, and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. Set the pot over high heat, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Uncover and reduce the heat to medium, or as needed, so the water is at a lively simmer, and cook until the potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the potatoes, transfer to the prepared sheet pan and set aside until cool enough to handle. Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, carefully and slowly crush each potato to 1/4-inch thickness, doing your best to keep them intact. Brush the tops of the potatoes with the olive oil and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the garlic powder and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the potatoes to the oven and roast for about 55 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Let cool on the pan for 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Make the dressing: While the potatoes are roasting, in a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, pickles, mayonnaise, onion, dill, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar and mustard until combined.

  6. Step 6

    Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half or bite-size pieces and add to the dressing. Toss to coat evenly. Garnish with dill and serve.
