A Roasted Potato Salad
We've really been on a kick with roasting veggies recently.
The way the sugars caramelize and the flavors intensify. The oven crisped exterior and soft interior.
Roasting really does wonders to nearly every vegetable we've tried. So, we had the idea to roast potatoes for this potato salad, rather than boil them, as we've always seen them done.
The result was fantastic! Roasting creates a nice crisp exterior to these potatoes.
And, even if they don't stay crisp once the dressing is added, it allows the potato chunks to hold their definition in the salad.
Our Summer Thyme and Rosemary Potato Salad Recipe
The rosemary and thyme we added to the potatoes for roasting became very fragrant and added a nice depth of flavor to this potato salad.
So much flavor, in fact, that the dressing here is relatively simple: half mayo, half plain yogurt (to lighten things up a bit), with a bit of vinegar thrown in for an added punch. Simplicity allows the thyme and rosemary in this potato salad to really shine through.
Ingredients
