Description

The Original (and BEST!) Roasted Potato Salad is a delicious twist on classic potato salad, featuring roasted baby potatoes tossed in a creamy dressing with a hint of smoky flavor. Perfect for picnics, barbecues, or as a side dish for any occasion!


Ingredients

Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs baby red or Yukon gold potatoes (halved)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss Potatoes: Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Let cool.
  4. Prepare Dressing: In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and smoked paprika.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Once potatoes are cool, add to the bowl along with celery, red onion, parsley. Gently fold together until well coated. Stir in hard-boiled eggs if using.
  6. Chill: Chill salad for at least 1 hour before serving.

  • Try using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
