Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold or baby potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

- Prepare the potatoes by washing and placing them in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and boil until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

- Smash the cooked potatoes gently with a glass or fork to about ½-inch thickness.
- Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Cool the potatoes slightly for 10-15 minutes after roasting.
- Prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
- Assemble the potato salad by adding the crispy potatoes to the dressing and gently tossing to coat, then mixing in diced celery and red onion.
- Add fresh parsley and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately or chill for later.
