Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 120 ml Mayonnaise
- 60 ml Greek yogurt
- 45 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 count Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 count Anchovy fillets (optional, finely chopped)
- 50 grams Croutons (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- as needed Water (for boiling)
Instructions
Place the baby potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat, and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the Caesar-style dressing. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and chopped anchovies (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the halved potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss until they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the crushed croutons, chopped parsley, and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad. Gently toss again to distribute the toppings.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with additional grated Parmesan, parsley, or extra croutons for added texture and flavor.
Serve the Caesar Style Potato Salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
