Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Cracked black pepper optional, to taste
  • Olive oil a drizzle to taste
  • 6 servings Vegan Green Goddess Dressing

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, add 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the Yukon Gold potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the potatoes cook for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on their size, until fork-tender.
  • While the potatoes cook, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Once the potatoes are done, drain the water and transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Use a butter knife to make a soft slice about halfway through each potato. Then, using the bottom of a cup or mug, gently smash each potato down. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste. For a crispier potato, drizzle with olive oil if desired, though this step is optional.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Serve with PlantYou Green Goddess Dressing and enjoy!
