🥔 What Makes This Recipe So Good
- If you’re someone that hates potato salad, I don’t blame you. Cold, mayonnaisey cubes of overcooked potatoes have never been my thing, either. This herby potato salad, though, is a far cry from the chilled potato salads you’re used to. Seriously. This version is amazing enough that roasted potato salad might just change into certainly one of your favorite foods… ever!
- The flavors are deep and savory, with a little bit of bite from the red onions and earthiness from the red potatoes. Yes, we’re still coating the potatoes in mayo, but it surely’s added almost as soon because the potatoes come out of the oven so it’s not gloppy and even really “creamy” per se. Your guests may not even understand it’s mayo.
- Roasted potato salad goes very well with your whole favorite cookout dishes. Burgers, BBQ, grilled chicken, egg salad, elote, steak, margaritas… Whatever’s often in your picnic table, this salad matches right in.
👩🏼🍳 Chef’s Tips
- When it comes time to cut the potatoes, do your best to keep the pieces roughly the identical size and thickness. The more uniform they’re, the less like they’ll be to cook unevenly. There’s nothing worse than roasting potatoes and ending up with half of them burnt and half of them just barely cooked-through.
- Along that very same line, keep watch over the potatoes and adjust the cook times as needed. half-hour + quarter-hour could also be way too long in your oven if it’s recent or simply an over-achiever. The roasted potatoes are able to change into salad after they’re golden and crisp and you’ll be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Oven fully occupied? You can totally pull off this salad recipe by roasting your potatoes within the air fryer as a substitute! Check out my recipe for air fryer potatoes and use the herb mix from this recipe as a substitute!
