Kitchen Equipment Needed
To prepare Roasted Potato Salad, you’ll need:
- Baking sheet
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Large spoon for mixing
- Oven
Directions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse and halve the baby potatoes, then toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well-coated.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Make the Dressing: While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are done roasting, let them cool slightly before transferring them to a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing, chopped herbs, and green onions, then gently toss to combine, ensuring each potato is coated.
- Serve: Serve the Roasted Potato Salad warm or at room temperature. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips and Variations
- Add More Veggies: Roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, or even crispy bacon bits make great additions to this salad.
- Try a Different Dressing: Swap the creamy dressing with a vinaigrette for a lighter version, or add a spoonful of sour cream for a tangy flavor.
- Use Other Herbs: While dill and parsley are classic, you can experiment with basil, chives, or thyme for a different flavor profile.
- Add Cheese: Crumbled feta or goat cheese can add a deliciously creamy and tangy element to the salad.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Roasted Potato Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the salad tastes best when it’s fresh, as the potatoes may lose some of their crispness over time. You can enjoy the leftovers cold or bring them back to room temperature before serving. If you prefer, reheat the potatoes in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to restore some of the crispiness before adding extra dressing, if needed.
