Roasted Potato Salad

This fabulous roasted potato salad is an excellent summer side dish. It’s fantastic with grilled meat and poultry, and It’s a great dish to take to a cookout or potluck. Roasting the potatoes gives them texture and a toasty flavor. Mayonnaise and sour cream make up the savory dressing while fresh herbs and lemon juice balance the flavors.

What kind of potatoes are best for potato salad?

I like red potatoes, baby potatoes, or Yukon Gold. New potatoes are excellent if you can find them, or try fingerling potatoes. Avoid the starchier potatoes, such as Russets because the texture can become mushy when cooked.

Recipe Variations

• Roast another vegetable with the potatoes. Add a sliced carrot or two or add diced bell peppers.
• For a pop of color, add some roasted red bell peppers to the salad.
• Add some heat with a minced jalapeño pepper or a dash of cayenne or hot sauce.
• Add a few strips of cooked and crumbled bacon.
