Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and add bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20–25 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and discard bay leaves. Let steam dry 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  4. Arrange potatoes on sheet and gently smash each to about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  6. Mix remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder. Sprinkle evenly over potatoes.
  7. Bake 20 minutes. Flip carefully, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and bake another 15–20 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
  8. Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, chipotle chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and chives in a bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
  9. Serve hot potatoes with chipotle aioli for dipping.

Notes

  • Allow potatoes to steam dry before baking for maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 400°F oven for best texture.
  • Freezing is not recommended.
