Ingredients
 
 

  • 17.5 oz baby potatoes or marble potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Generous drizzle of olive oil

Dill Mayo

  • 2 tbsp vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste (see notes)
  • 1/2 lemon juice - juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 small red onion or shallot , finely diced
  • Ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash the potatoes well. Boil for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender. I personally prefer cooking my potatoes until fork tender but still has that good bite and not too mushy on the inside.
  • Drain the potatoes from water.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/400F.
  • Place the potatoes on a lined baking tray (I used parchment paper). Sprinkle the paprika and a generous pinch of salt. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and mix to coat the potatoes well.
  • Using a flat-bottomed jar or glass, carefully press down on the potatoes to smash.
  • Bake the potatoes for 30-40 minutes at 200C/400F or until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  • DILL MAYO: Meanwhile, prepare the dill mayo by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Feel free to adjust to your taste.
  • TO FINISH: Serve the potatoes with the dill mayo and other dipping sauce of your choice. This is best enjoyed freshly cooked. Enjoy as a delicious starter, side, or snack.

Notes

WHITE MISO PASTE

  • I love adding miso paste for extra umami and flavour. If you don't have miso paste, you can opt to just season the mayo with some salt, to taste.
