Herbed Roasted Potato Salad

Ali Hedin's Roasted Potato Salad filled with herbs and no mayo! A perfect summer side dish.

I think this is the potato salad to end all potato salads. It’s herby and tangy and filled with bacon. I literally can’t think of anything better.

I’m not a huge fan of a mayo based potato salad. There are some that are good- but it’s usually made with so much mayo and egg that the potato is almost an afterthought. This one is extremely potato forward - so use your good potatoes. It sounds silly, but it actually makes a difference if you use a good quality potato. If you can get them straight out of the ground, you will be blown away by how good it is.

Roasted Potato Salad

2 pounds small potatoes

3/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

2 tablespoons chopped basil

2 tablespoons chopped oregano

2 tablespoons chopped thyme

2 tablespoons chopped chives

4 strips cooked bacon, chopped

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Chop the potatoes into quarters, or smaller to make them bite sized

STEP 2

In a jar with a lid, combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and all herbs. Shake until well combined. If I don’t have a jar on hand, I’ll mix the dressing in the bottom of the serving bowl - then throw the potatoes on top and toss them all together.

STEP 3

Let the potatoes cool slightly then toss with dressing and potatoes. Let sit at least an hour in the fridge before serving.
