  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

3 pounds baby potatoes with skins on

Β½ teaspoon kosher salt for seasoning

Β½ teaspoon pepper for seasoning

ΒΌ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup mayonnaise for the creamy dressing

1 tablespoon yellow mustard for the dressing

Β½ teaspoon kosher salt for the dressing

ΒΌ teaspoon dill weed for the dressing

ΒΌ teaspoon pepper for the dressing

3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk adjusted for desired dressing consistency

1 small red onion, finely diced

8 strips bacon, cooked crispy and chopped

6 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Instructions

1-Start by washing the 3 pounds of baby potatoes with skins on, then boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

2-Gently smash the potatoes to ΒΌ to Β½ inch thick on a baking sheet. Brush with ΒΌ cup extra virgin olive oil and season with Β½ teaspoon kosher salt and Β½ teaspoon pepper.

3-Roast the smashed potatoes at 450Β°F for 55 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve even crisping. If you prefer, use an air fryer at 400Β°F for 14-15 minutes for a quicker option.

4-While roasting, hard-boil 6 large eggs by placing them in boiling water for 9-11 minutes, then cool in an ice bath and chop them.

5-Cook 8 strips of bacon until crispy, then chop them finely. Dice 1 small red onion.

6-In a large bowl, combine the cooled, roasted potatoes with the chopped eggs, bacon, and red onion.

7-Prepare the dressing by whisking together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, Β½ teaspoon kosher salt, ΒΌ teaspoon dill weed, ΒΌ teaspoon pepper, and 3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk.

8-Gently fold the dressing into the potato mixture until everything is evenly coated. Let the salad cool before serving, either warm or chilled.
