Break out of the boring old potato salad rut with this Easy Roasted Potato Salad. Roasted Yukon gold potatoes are tossed with a light dressing of stone ground mustard, mayo, a touch of sweet pickle relish, and minced shallot.
Since this Easy Roasted Potato Salad calls for roasting the potatoes instead of boiling them, the extra flavor from the caramelization is what gives this potato salad its unique, and standalone taste. So ditch the pot of water and grab a baking sheet instead. NOW we're talking!
After tossing the sliced potatoes with oil, lay them, cut side down, on the baking sheet. This step is necessary for optimal potato caramelization, and it's the main thing that makes this Easy Roasted Potato Salad so flavorful and delicious.
Check out how easy this Easy Roasted Potato Salad is to make:
Slice baby Yukon gold potatoes into potato wedges. Toss them in a large bowl with salt, pepper and a bit of oil. Layer the oiled potatoes, cut side down on a baking sheet.
Mix together mayonnaise, stone ground mustard, sweet pickle relish, and minced shallots in a medium bowl while the potatoes are roasting in a 425-degree oven.
Place the roasted potatoes in a large bowl and immediately toss the hot potatoes with the dressing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.

The following Dr. Suess wine glass doesn't really have anything to do with the Easy Roasted Potato Salad recipe, but I thought the colors coordinated well. LOL. This is a glass that I painted a few years back after it was requested by a customer as a college graduation gift. Love that!
