Smashed Potato Salad Was My Favorite Lunch This Month.
As a basic girl born and raised in the Midwest, these are three top-tier restaurant items for me:
- a shreddy, choppy salad
- crispy golden French fries
- runny, drippy, housemade ranch dressing.
This salad is for anyone who loves that combo. It is a spin on the viral smashed potato salad – but more lettuce-forward instead of being a picnic-style potato salad. Doing it this way preserves a bit of the crispiness of the potatoes, but it’s also just really pleasant to eat with all the tender-crunch bites.
I had this for lunch several times this month, and every bite just carried me to a really joyful place. I want this for you.
It’s tangy, bold, substantial but also light and shreddy at the same time. We added tuna one night for dinner (extra protein, husband-led initiative) and it worked great. Delicious. But I’m emotionally attached to it as-is – just the pickley salad, the potatoes, and the creamy ranch as a trio. My besties.
Hope you love this!
