🛒 What You’ll Need – Crispy, Fresh Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

👩‍🍳 How to Make Crispy Potato Salad

Roast the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, dill or parsley, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine: Let potatoes cool slightly (but still warm), then toss them gently in the dressing so they stay crisp on the outside and soak up all that creamy goodness.

Serve: Top with crispy bacon bits, extra herbs, or chopped pickles if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture.

✨ Tasty Variations & Extra Tips

Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a little smoky kick.
Swap dill for basil or chives for a different fresh herb flavor.
Make it heartier by mixing in hard-boiled eggs or shredded rotisserie chicken.
Serve over a bed of fresh greens to turn it into a loaded salad meal.
