Description

A vibrant and flavorful Roasted Potato Salad featuring golden roasted potatoes tossed with a creamy mustard-dill dressing, fresh cucumbers, green onions, and crunchy pistachios for texture. This versatile salad can be served warm or chilled, making it perfect for any season or gathering.


Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds gold potatoes (quartered, skin-on)

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 cucumber (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Crunchy Elements

  • ⅓ cup salted shelled pistachios (chopped)

Dressing

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (regular or vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons brown mustard (or Dijon mustard)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced or grated)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425℉ to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Roast Potatoes: Place the quartered potatoes on a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast them for 35-40 minutes until they are golden brown and tender inside.
  3. Mix Vegetables and Herbs: While the potatoes are roasting, combine the chopped green onions, cucumber, pistachios, dill, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until smooth.
  5. Cool Potatoes: Once roasted, allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes to avoid wilting the fresh ingredients when combined.
  6. Combine Salad: Toss the roasted potatoes with the prepared dressing. Then add the chopped vegetable and herb mixture, gently mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the salad warm for a comforting dish or chill it in the refrigerator to serve cold for a refreshing option.
  8. Enjoy: Serve this flavorful Roasted Potato Salad as a delightful side or a light main dish.
