Ingredient Substitution:
- Potatoes: While baby Yukon gold potatoes work best for this recipe due to their creamy texture and thin skin, you can also use baby red potatoes or even regular-sized potatoes cut into smaller pieces.
- Avocado Oil: If you don’t have avocado oil on hand, you can substitute it with olive oil or any other neutral-flavored oil that can be heated at a high temperature.
- Dairy-Free Yogurt: Opt for unsweetened plain dairy-free yogurt, such as almond or coconut yogurt, to keep this recipe dairy-free. If you’re not dairy-free, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead.
- Vegan Mayo: If you dont want to add this just add extra yogurt.
- Dijon Mustard: Any type of mustard will work in this recipe, but Dijon mustard adds a nice tangy flavor. You can also use yellow mustard or whole grain mustard if preferred.
- Fresh Dill: If you don’t have fresh dill on hand, you can use dried dill instead. Keep in mind that dried herbs are more potent than fresh, so you’ll need to use less.
- Red Onion: Feel free to substitute red onion with white or yellow onion, or even shallots for a milder flavor.
- Dill Pickles: Use your favorite brand of dill pickles, or try pickling your own cucumbers for a homemade touch.
- Red Pepper: If you’re not a fan of red pepper, you can omit it altogether or substitute it with diced celery or cucumber for added crunch.
- Green Onion: Scallions or chives can be used as a substitute for green onion.

Crispy and Creamy Dill Pickle Smashed Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
Sauce
- 3/4 cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegan mayo
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the baby Yukon gold potatoes clean and pat them dry.
- Roast: Roast the smashed potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Smash Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush with avocado oil. Use the bottom of a glass cup and gently smash each potato, ensuring they remain intact.
- Prepare Sauce: While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine dairy-free yogurt, vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, diced red onion, chopped dill pickles, diced red pepper, green onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Combine: Once the smashed potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the roasted potatoes with the prepared sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve: Transfer the Dill Pickle Smashed Potato Salad to a serving dish. Garnish with additional chopped dill and green onions if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
