Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or dill), finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Dressing: While the potatoes are roasting, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with the Dijon mustard, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Toss Salad: Once the potatoes are roasted and slightly cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Add the thinly sliced red onion and gently toss everything together, making sure the potatoes are well coated.
  4. Serve: Serve the potato salad warm or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about an hour to enjoy it cold. Adjust seasoning before serving if needed.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture.
  • Fresh herbs add brightness; feel free to mix parsley, dill, and thyme.
  • For extra flavor, roast the potatoes with garlic cloves.
  • Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge, flavors will deepen.
