Ingredients
For the dressing
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 3 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1/2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the potatoes
- 16-18 mini yellow potatoes
- pinch salt, garlic & onion powder
- olive oil
- 1/2 cup Cabot Creamery Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
For the salad
- 2-3 small romaine hearts (3-4 cups chopped)
- 1/4 cup pickles (diced)
- 1/4 cup fire-roasted corn
- 1/2 cup Cabot Creamery Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tablespoon chives (finely chopped)
- 1 avocado (diced)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Add dash of salt and potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 20-25 minutes, depending on size). While potatoes are cooking, shred your cheese and set aside.
- Chop the remaining salad ingredients and set aside. Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl, stir to combine, and set aside.
- When potatoes are done, drain and place on a paper towel to cool. Use the back of a measuring cup to smash each potato (1/4 inch thickness). Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. It's best to use parchment paper so the potatoes don't stick to tinfoil. Drizzle with olive oil then add a pinch of salt, garlic, and onion powder. Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes. Remove potatoes, flip them over, and sprinkle half the cheese on top. Air fry another 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden. Watch closely so the cheese doesn't burn.
- Divide the romaine between bowls. Add dressing and toss to combine. Add the pickles, corn, crispy potatoes and remaining cheese. Toss to combine. Top with chives. Crispy, crunchy, creamy, so good.
