Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best for this recipe as they hold their shape well when boiled and smashed.
Boil the potatoes until tender: The potatoes should be cooked through but still firm enough to hold their shape when smashed.
Smash the potatoes gently: Use a fork or potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are slightly flattened, but not mashed.
Add the dressing while the potatoes are still warm: This will help the dressing soak into the potatoes and give them more flavor.
Chill the salad before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Garnish with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and freshness to the salad.
