🥔 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 become one of your favorite foods… ever! The flavors are deep and savory, with a bit of bite from the red onions and earthiness from the red potatoes. Yes, we’re still coating the potatoes in mayo, but it’s added almost as soon as the potatoes come out of the oven so it’s not gloppy or even really “creamy” per se. Your guests might not even know it’s mayo. Roasted potato salad goes really well with all of your favorite cookout dishes. Burgers, BBQ, grilled chicken, egg salad, elote, steak, margaritas… Whatever’s usually on your picnic table, this salad fits right in.
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
When it comes time to chop the potatoes, do your best to keep the pieces roughly the same size and thickness. The more uniform they are, 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 same line, keep an eye on the potatoes and adjust the cook times as needed. 30 minutes + 15 minutes may be way too long in your oven if it’s new or just an over-achiever. The roasted potatoes are ready to become salad when they’re golden and crisp and you can easily pierce them with a fork. Oven fully occupied? You can totally pull off this salad recipe by roasting your potatoes in the air fryer instead! Check out my recipe for air fryer potatoes and use the herb blend from this recipe instead!
