Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1.5 lb small potatoes such as baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the small potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly. On a baking sheet, smash each potato to about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle smashed potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and feta cheese.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, add them to the salad mixture. Pour the dressing over and gently toss to combine.
