Ingredients
For the Creamy Dressing:
- ½ cup (120 mL) vegan mayonnaise
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard
- ½ Tbsp (7 mL) agave syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Salad:
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- ½ small red onion, minced
- 2 Tbsp (2 g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 Tbsp (2 g) fresh dill, chopped
For the Smashed Potatoes:
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) baby potatoes or small potatoes
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and pat dry.
- Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and line two baking trays.
- Flatten the potatoes on the trays into 1 cm thick disks using the bottom of a cup.
Season and Bake the Potatoes:
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the spiced oil onto the smashed potatoes. Reserve any leftover oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes, brush with the reserved oil, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Make the Dressing:
- In a large bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, agave syrup, and salt.
Assemble the Salad:
- Add the chopped cucumber, minced red onion, fresh parsley, and fresh dill to the bowl with the dressing. Mix well.
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then toss them with the salad. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Oven Type: This recipe assumes top and bottom heating; adjust if using a fan-assisted oven.
- Storage: For best results, enjoy immediately after assembling. Alternatively, store baked potatoes and salad dressing separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Enjoy your delicious and creamy smashed potato salad!!
