"Potato salad is fantastic, but have you ever tried it with crispy potatoes? This recipe is going viral right now - and surprise surprise, it has crispy potatoes: Crispy and smashed potatoes to be exact! The potatoes are first boiled, smashed and then roasted in the oven. In the meantime, you prepare the rest of the ingredients and combine everything into a delicious salad. In this recipe, I am pairing the potatoes with crunchy sugar snap peas (yes, you can eat them raw!), jammy eggs, capers, fresh herbs, parmesan cheese and a creamy dressing. The salad works great for spring and summer, either as a main dish for two or as a side for the start of the barbecue season. The big question used to be vinegar-oil or mayo dressing for this salad, but now it’s all about crispy or not for the potatoes!"

  • Step 1/5

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/392°F top/bottom heat. Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat slightly and simmer, half-covered with a lid, for approx. 12–15 min. While the potatoes are cooking, cut the sugar snap peas diagonally into strips and finely dice the shallot. Drain the potatoes when you can easily pierce them with a fork.

Easy! Start by boiling the potatoes until they are soft (careful not to overcook!). Then, place them on a baking tray and lightly mash them with the bottom of a jar, a pot lid, a plate or another baking tray and get them flat. Then drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and other spices you like and bake in the oven until crispy and golden brown. Nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside potatoes each time!
