Anything with potato is my fav! what about you..?? did you said ‘Yes’, then you will love this recipe anyway! if you said ‘No’, you will still love this dish and may also become fan of Potatoes!! To make this dish even more rich and flavorful, I used yogurt with different herbs as the dressing. And I am not exaggerating..this Smashed Potato Salad with Herbed Yogurt is my new favorite!
Potatoes to Use:
- Organic Fingerling Potatoes : I used organic fingerling potatoes for this recipe and highly recommend to use organic potatoes if consuming with potato peel.
- Baby Potatoes : Even baby potatoes make good choice for this recipe and same rule goes here too…use organic if possible.
- Regular sized Potatoes : If using regular size potatoes or large potatoes, chop potato to desired size after boiling potatoes. And try to have peel on for all the pieces ( potato peel tastes great in this recipe )
No matter what type of Potatoes you are using, try to eat with potato peel on, as peel gives crispiness to the whole salad!
