Roasted Potato Salad
This Roasted Potato Salad takes the best of roasted potatoes and potato salad and combines it into one addictive potato dish. If you like them both I suggest you make a double batch. Honestly, when I made this I had no idea if it was going to work. I was hosting Greg’s friend for dinner and I didn’t want to serve the same roasted potatoes that I always do. I’m not one who is afraid of trying out new dishes on guests since the worst thing that can happen is that I’ll lose my credibility :-). Also, he is more of a brother than a friend so I knew he’d forgive me. It was a huge success. Besides looking pretty its very flavorful. The creaminess of the dressing gets cooked off and give the potatoes a nice crisp. The mustard gives it some extra umami. If you are short on time, you can cook the potatoes ahead and then dress and roast the potatoes before serving. These are excellent at room temperature so it’s perfect to take along on a picnic. I just gave this recipe to my friend Adina and she already made it twice in one week. You shouldn’t need any more endorsement than that!

Hi this looks great! How much mustard do you put in the dressing? There’s no measurement but in the picture it looks like a lot… Thanks!
In the picture it looks like more than one tablespoon
Hi Devorah – Please use the recipe measurements. The recipe is on the bottom of the page. When I photographed this, I made a double portion.
