It's time to break out of your potato salad rut!

If when you think of potato salad you think of a cold side dish, I'd like to challenge you to a new way of thinking. This easy to make Hot Roasted Potato Salad will soon become your new go-to potato side dish.

The ingredient list:

• baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
• mayonnaise
• heavy cream
• olive oil
• celery, plus some of the leaves
• red onion, or whatever color you have
• grated Parmesan cheese
• garlic, minced
• Dijon mustard
• dill pickle relish
• salt and pepper
• fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

• cutting board
• chef's knife
• whisk
• medium bowl
• measuring cups and spoons
• non-stick cooking spray
• 13" x 9" baking dish (disposable or not)
• aluminum foil
• cheese grater (optional)

Do Yukon Gold potatoes need to be peeled?

Nope. No need!

The skin of a Yukon Gold potato is so thin and smooth there's no need for all that pesky peeling.

And, since the Yukon gold holds its shape well during cooking they're the perfect potato for all kinds of wonderful side dish recipes.

Can this hot potato side dish be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator before cooking?

Yes!

Feel free to prepare this dish in advance (before cooking) and keep it (well covered) in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. Any longer than that and you'll risk the potatoes turning grayish in color due to oxidation.

How to cook this hot potato salad after chilling:

Allow the prepared potatoes to come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before baking in the oven, or cooking on the grill.

Please be aware that IF the potatoes are not allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, the cooking time written in this recipe will be off, and your potatoes will require additional time to become hot, and fork-tender.

How to turn the backyard grill into a backyard oven?

So glad you asked.

I use this method (found in my recipe post for Slow Roasted Baby Back Ribs) ALL the time, and it works like a charm!

How long will this hot potato dish keep in the refrigerator after cooking?

Covered well in an air-tight container, this potato side dish will last for 5 - 7 days.

Can this potato side dish be served chilled after it's been cooked?

I don't see why not, although I'm guessing it will taste better served hot.

But since I've never tried it that way, why don't you try it and let me know?

The photo instructions for making hot roasted potato salad for a crowd:

• Preheat oven (or grill) to 375-degrees F
• Wash and quarter (or half, depending on the size of the potato) the unpeeled Yukon gold potatoes.
• Toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper.
• Add them to the baking dish.
• Chop the celery (including some of the leaves), and the onion.
• Add them to the roasting pan along with the potatoes.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, heavy cream, garlic, Dijon mustard, and dill pickle relish.
• Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the potatoes and stir well to combine.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and cook in a preheated oven, or outdoor grill (on top of bricks), for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• To serve, garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
