-
1 tsp (2 g)onion powder
-
½ tsppaprika powder

½ tspsalt
Dressing
-
¾ cup (180 mL)unsweetened soy yogurt
-
1lemon, juiced

-
¼ tspsalt
Assembly
-
1cucumber, chopped

2 Tbsp (2 g)fresh dill, chopped
Directions
- Cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted simmering water, for 15 - 20 minutes, or until tender.
- Meanwhile, mix the oil with the spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are cooked, drain and pat dry, then line two baking trays and preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C)*.
- Flatten the potatoes on the baking tray into 1 cm thick disks using the bottom of a cup.
- Brush the spiced oil onto the smashed potatoes, reserving the leftover oil for later. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Give the potatoes a flip, brush on the leftover oil and bake for another 20 - 30 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
- Meanwhile, mix together all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the veggies and mix again.
- When the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes, then toss them in the large bowl as well, and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).
Storage
- This salad is best when enjoyed immediately after assembling.
- Alternatively, store the baked smashed potatoes and the salad dressing ingredients separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.

I just made it, it is really delicious and I will very probably do it again in the near future. But one thing I got to mention, the marinade for the potatos was a little bit to short for the other side of the potatos, so that I could only cover like half of those. So just gonna add a bit of extra oil the next time. :)
Really really yummy.
My boyfriend said it was the best potato salad he ever had.:)
Wow! So delicious!! I am planning to make this for my mom when I visit her, because she loves potato salads. I know she will enjoy this one. 😊
Delish!
Out of this world 😍 I can't get enough of this salad and catch myself making it over and over again, it's just too delicious to be true 🤤
Lovely and delicious! Just a heads up, my potatoes got a bit burned in the second baked before the 15 min. So just keep a close eye on them ;)
The dressing is lovely! Thank you Sadia and team 🌱
Incredible flavors. Fresh but also 'cosy'. I made this recipe purely because I think it looks great haha. Dill and parsley are ingredients that I never really use, but I'm glad I made it. I will definitely make this potato salad more often, and also the smashed potatoes alone.
Hi Limes Crew!
I'd love to make this salad for a surprise party and therefore need to prepare it ahead. Has anyone done this already and has tips on how to keep the potatoes crispy? Is it enough to just assemble it directly before serving, so to store the crispy smashed potatoes seperately from the rest of the salad?
Any help and suggestions are very welcome!
I’ve made this recipe twice now and i think it’s worth boiling the potatoes for longer than 15 minutes. Definitely follow the guidance of boiling until tender. That being said, the flavours are just unreal and the creativity of baking the potatoes is so smart!
Loved it!
Loved the crispy potatoes with the creamy dressing!!
Wow, the flavours are just amazing! These are definitely going to be a regular in our house!
Loved the dressing and potatoes but I might leave out dill next time this is just personal taste
Forgot to put 5 stars in my previous comment, so here they are
This recipe is phenomenal! Instead of boiling the potatoes, i threw them in the ikea's glass container, added couple of tbsp of water, out silicone cover in top and microwaved for 5-7 minutes. Definitely saved some time! I also used an airfryer, instead of the oven, and it took around 15 minutes to finish the potatoes.
I made this with my dad and though it took a bit longer to make than a regular potato salad recipe, it turned out fantastic! My dad gave it an 8/10, which means that he is in love with it and he is just too stubborn to grade it higher and he even asked me for the recipe! Now I am looking at what other recipe we can try together next time!
Fantastic!
This is incredible. We had to make a couple of subs - went to 2 different supermarkets and neither had cucumbers?! So we used sweet pointy peppers instead. I also forgot to get dijon mustard so had to use the wholegrain mustard we had in the fridge. Subs both worked perfectly! Will be making this regularly, thank you for the recipe!
This is just divine! I am in love with the dressing. All the flavours blend so well together and it’s outrageously delicious. Thank you so much for sharing such a yummy recipe.
i was today years old when i realized i will not make potatoes any other way! why did i ever bother to cut them into fries and bake them - no, boiling, then crushing and brushing them with oil and spices is the way to go.
i like this recipe better than the classic potato salad (although very good as well) here in the app, with the addition of joghurt i tastes just so much fresher.
I have no idea why we have to go with boiling and then into the oven.
I Taste no difference to oven tray potatoes.
Next time I will skip boiling to save time and energy and just use cubed, seasoned oven tray potatoes.
Or even pre poiled potatoes.
Or even potatoe wedges...
I like the base. I can see myself using the rest of the Salad and exchange the potatoes with other stuff, like baked chickpeas, smoked Tofu or even pumpkin.
Seriously obsessed with the potatoes in this salad. I will be making those again just on their own.
Most of my family isn’t big on sauces or dressings so I cut the amount of dressing in half and it was a hit.
The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it’s sadly a quite time consuming recipe. I was definitely disappointed to spend 45 minutes preparing the potatoes alone…
This is the receipe that made me buy subscription!! Since I don't like dill and parsley, I replace it with cilantro as well as freshly roasted and powdered cumin and a dash of red chilli powder. This receipe is amazing.
Obsesssssed!!
LOVE this salad! Didn’t have potatoes so I crispy fried a can of chickpeas with the spices and it was just delicious!
This was SO delicious! Thanks for the recipe. I'll definitely be making it again!
Very lekker and perfect for summer! I added some radishes which made it more crunchy and the dressing is very refreshing. A perfect mix of mayo, yoghurt, mustard and agave syrup!
I'm not a huge fan of potato salad but I'm always excited for this one. Definitely worth the time!
So good!
Great recipe. What’s the serving size ?
100000% worth the time and effort! assemble at the very last minute if you’re taking it to someone’s 💛
Delicious recipe! (I added caper/cornichons/green olives because of my love for pickles!)
This is so good! Spectacular recipe!! Definitely going to our next BBQ gathering!!
Very tasty!
Really loved this salad, wonderful textures although I dis struggle to get the potatoes crispy enough.
Still delicious and the dressing was just right!
Loved it! My potatoes didn't get crispy but it was still delicious.
Delicious!! At first I wasn't sure about the amount of lemon juice, but I followed the recipe and it was perfect!
The best part of this salad is the potatoes. Honestly, I could have just made those and it would have been good enough. 😋
Original and delicious !!!
Easy and super yummy. Had to double the amount for the potato marinade as it was not enough for both sides. I would recommend to double the recipe if you want to eat it as an only meal. As a side, I think the number of persons shown in the recipe is fine.
Perfect for our summer BBQ. Was absolutely devoured by everyone.
Made this last week for a bbq potluck, and was surprised to see the bowl empty even before I got around to get a serving myself! Everyone loved it :) Definitely my go-to salad this summer!
Delicious and easy. Love the dressing.
Very good!
But i use a lemon press and so it was way too sour, because you get more juice than pressing with the hands like you.
I've done it for friends last weekend. It was a bit of work but the crunch of the potatoes are worth it.
I wasn't sure about this at all, but made it just following the recipe and it was super! I personally loved the dressing as a great alternative to regular mayo.
Making this today for grill-out! The moment I heard the “crrrrunch!” in the video, I knew I’d be making this ASAP
♥️🍋🟩♥️
Delicious, thank you for the perfect summer recipe!
Another hit! Loved it
Served this at my birthday bash and everyone loved it!
Great salad! I am going to make it again for sure 😍 Followed recipe exactly how was written, everything worked perfectly!
Oh yumm, I can't wait to make this delicious looking salad! I do need meal prep advice though - is it okay to make the salad and let it stand for a few hours or would the potatoes become mushy?
I love this recipe, the crispy potatoes make it really tasty! 😊
This looked soo good and I really wanted it to hit the spot, but it just tasted like Indian 'raita' plus some added potatoes 😭 I'm not a big fan of raita so this wasn't the great dish I thought it would be, but still good :)
Note: I did add only 1/2 to 3/4th of the mayo the recipe called for tho, so I'm not sure how much that contributed to this!!
Hello from Germany. This potato salad is soooo good. I need to make this again soon! Thanks for the recipe. 🌷
Very refreshing and delicious. I adjusted the amounts of onion to my taste and it is so good. You have to watch your potatoes because my oven cooks quickly so one batch got overcooked. Ends were burnt.I suggest starting with 15 minutes and adding time if you need more. Loved it
Love it! I added more yoghurt so it was slighly more soupy as a stand in for cold soup, perfect for late summer dinner.
So gooood 😍
Is it possible to make the potatoes in advance a few hours ?
this is hands down the best potato salad recipe ever🤤🌟
I thought this was spectacular, especially the flavours from the yoghurt sauce and the fresh herbs. Huge thumbs up from my non-vegan dad too.
This was so delicious! So worth it to make the potatoes crispy, this makes the salad so addictive. I made half the batch because it's just me en my partner to keep it fresh but dissappinted I didn't make more... So so yummy! ❤️
omg this was SO good!! will 100000% make again!
This was delicious! Added some tomatoes and feta, will make again!
This one was stellar. So, so good. It takes time to make, but absolutely worth it.
You never disappoint. Outstanding
Can we use yellow potatoes instead of baby ones?
I typically never touch potato salad as I find it mushy & bland, but this was a total game changer! The fresh lemon & dill keep it light and fresh and keeping the smashed potato’s separated but cooking it key to keeping them crispy and delicious! 10/10 per usual :)
The plus - as always, PULs recipe app is awesome & easy to follow! But, I'm sorry to say I was under-whelmed by this recipe. I liked the potatoes. I liked the dressing but together, not so much. It wasn't bad, but it certainly didn't satisfy my comfort food cravings. In part, my version didn't look anything like the picture - mine turned out more like potato chips (aka crisps) in Tzatziki. The dressing to potatoes ratio was way off & my crisps were drowning in dressing - rather than lightly coated - despite following the recipe verbatim. I'll be adding a lot of other veggies & treating the potatoes more like croutons. Admittedly it could be I was just expecting something different. Be that said - this salad is still worth a try. You might enjoy it!
When I saw this recipe in the video I knew I had to instantly make this for supper. It did not disappoint!
Soo crunchy and flavorful!
I swapped some of the veggies in the salad to accommodate what was in the fridge but is still turned out amazing! I used green onion instead of red and added sweetheart salad and cherry tomatoes. Highly recommend!
