Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil baby potatoes in salted water for about 7-8 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. Pat dry the cooled potatoes. Smash each potato gently. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 45-60 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  3. Whisk together the remaining olive oil, Greek yogurt, Kewpie mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Stir in the chopped pickle and shallots. Chill in the fridge.
  4. Toss the roasted potatoes in the creamy dressing to coat. Add crispy bits from the baking sheet and sprinkle with chopped scallions before serving.
