Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil and coat it with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the pan. Using a heavy-bottomed jar or glass, smash the potatoes to 1/2-inch thickness, taking care not to fully break them apart. Drizzle the smashed potatoes evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the honey, whole grain mustard, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar and whisk until well blended. Toss the cooked potatoes in the dressing until coated, season to taste, and stir in the dill pickle, green onion, celery, and bacon. Serve immediately.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
