Salt and Pepper Crushed Potatoes with Lemon Dill Mayo

  5.0 – 3 reviews  • Potato
I cannot resist these crispy on the outside and soft on the inside crushed baby potatoes. When dipped in the tangy Lemon Dill Mayo, they are a flavor sensation—the perfect side dish.
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Active: 10 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, skins on, scrubbed
  2. 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  3. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. Lemon Dill Mayo, recipe follows
  5. 3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  6. 6 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  7. Juice of 1 lemon
  8. Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut any larger potatoes in half so they are all roughly the same size. Put into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and gently simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well using a colander. 
  3. Tip the potatoes out onto a baking sheet and press each one down in the middle with a potato masher or your thumb to crush it. (Let cool slightly before crushing if using your thumb.) 
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over and sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Gently toss each potato in the seasoning. 
  5. Bake the potatoes, flipping them halfway through, until crispy and golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with the Lemon Dill Mayo. 
  6. Add the mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Mix well to combine.

Delicious and easy to make.  My husband is a ketchup fiend and said the potatoes were better with the Lemon Dill Mayo.  I strongly agree!  Thanks Mary….I love your show

I think I used the wrong kind of potato, overcooked them, or went buck-turbo on the mashing because mine came out very crumbly and I could not really flip.  Other than those issues the flavor was amazing and I would make again…..but maybe shorter boil time, and a different potato

Delicious! And fun! Thank you, Mary. P. S. I snuck in a bit of parm cheese into the dip.
