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.
Want to learn more about Yukon gold potatoes?
I think you'll find the following YouTube video extra helpful.
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:
