Roasted & Slightly Smashed Potatoes
- 3 pounds gold potatoes, halved crosswise & quartered if large
- ½ cup olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced into rounds, seeds removed if desired
- ¼ cup (lightly packed) torn flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Preheat oven to 450°. Toss potatoes with ¼ cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 30–35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then lightly flatten.
- Meanwhile, whisk vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining ¼ cup oil until emulsified, season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes, jalapeño, and parsley and toss; season with salt and pepper.
- Think of this as a cleaner, edgier potato salad.

- Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese and chives.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- If desired, adjust consistency with a little more milk.Local Fare Tip: Adding jalapenos into this would be delicious!
