ingredients
- 1 package (400 grams) potato gems or tator tots
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- Olive oil spray
- Kosher salt, to taste
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place potato gems on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Remove from the oven and lightly spray the bottom of a flat-bottomed glass with olive oil. Use the glass to smash all the potato gems. Season with salt and return to the oven for another 30 minutes, or until crispy.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together lemon juice, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, minced garlic, dill, parsley, chives, cucumber, red onion, and black pepper to make the sauce.
Step 4
Allow the smashed potato gems to cool for 5 minutes to maintain crispiness. Pour the smashed gems into the sauce and mix until well coated.
Step 5
Serve immediately. Note that the salad will become soggy if left for too long, so it's best to enjoy it right away.
