Instructions

1. Boil the Potatoes

Place the potato chunks in a large stockpot with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high.
Cook until potatoes are fork-tender (about 12-16 minutes).
Drain and let sit for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

2. Roast to Perfection

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Toss the drained potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.

3. Prepare the Dressing

In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of scallions for garnish.
Stir in the remaining scallions, 1 tablespoon of dill, and 1 tablespoon of parsley.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Assemble & Serve

Toss the warm, crispy potatoes with the dressing just before serving.
Transfer to a serving dish and top with reserved scallions, dill, and parsley.

Notes

Best Potatoes to Use: Yukon Golds provide the perfect balance of creamy interior and crispy exterior.

Air Fryer Option: Roast at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Serving Options: Enjoy warm, room temperature, or chilled—it’s delicious any way!
