This is a delicious method for potato salad! Everything can be adjusted for taste.
Best I’ve made. More bacon, celery and green onion. A bit less mayo, dolup of blue cheese dressing and sour cream. Added light seasoning to potatoes before baking. Added a bit Cajun spice and dill at the end before refrigerating. Going to double this next time, I didn’t get a serving…..
I had never made potato salad before this, but I honestly think this is the best potato salad I’ve ever had. I peeled the potatoes first, and diced and pan-fried 5 slices of turkey bacon I had to use up. I omitted the celery because I don’t eat it, and used 2/3c regular mayo and 1/3c reduced-fat mayo. The flavor is outstanding, and I am truly pleasantly surprised at how good it is with so few ingredients.
…the bacon! Oh. My. Goodness. I never thought I would ever find a potato salad to rival my mom’s southern style recipe that our family has loved for our entire lives. When it comes to potato salad, you always think the way your family does it is THE BEST, right?!?! Well, my eyes have been opened! Thank you for sharing!
I added about 1/2 Tbsp of mustard powder, chives, celery, and small amount of chopped white onion. Was delicious!!
I think I prefer the texture of boiled potatoes better than roasted. It was missing the creaminess! Taste was good though
What a wonderful new twist on an old favorite! I tossed the potato chunks in olive oil, then sprinkled with salt, pepper, and dried rosemary before roasting. Delicious!
Great recipe….Will definitely be making this again for the family!!
Loved it! I did not use olive oil, but did spray the baking sheet with non stick spray. I will be making this often.
This was really good. I made it just as the recipe was written, and it was a big hit. The roast potatoes add a real nice texture and slightly different flavor. Will definitely make this again.
This potato salad was the best tasting potato salad I ever made. I used a little less mayo than the recipe called for otherwise I followed the recipe directions. I plan to bring this to a neighborhood gathering and I know it will be a big hit.
I added chopped celery to give it some crunch.
Followed the recipe, and it turned out great!
This was really good but I felt it needed a bit more flavor so I added some Paprika, for me that was just what it needed. But it was great and I love the roasted potatos.
Made it for Father Day to go along with steaks! It was wonderful. I just used half the mayo and added Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper because we like heat! It disappeared!
My wife was surprised to see something other than my sisters recipe, but, she loves it.
I accidentally messed up and started to boil the potatoes. They had just started to boil when I remembered this is supposed to be roasted, duh. I took them out and cut them up, tossed in olive oil and roasted with diced garlic for about 25 minutes, I ended up mixing the salt and pepper as well as garlic powder, dill, paprika, and cumin in the mayo before tossing. I made a double batch and it was destroyed at the party I took it to. I got a lot of thank you’s for bringing it. Great recipe, I will definitely be making this one again and again.
I tried this instead of my regular potato salad recipe and it was a HUGE hit. I did adjust slightly by omitting the bacon and cooking chopped yellow onion in vinegar until translucent. I liked it so much that I made more when I came home from the BBQ so we can eat it thru thru the week.
I will make it again, no changes!
yup, I tossed in some cooked bacon and that did it, made it so good people could hardly stand it. Roasting the potatoes was the key to the entire recipe which made it beyond good. Certainly will make it again and in my book roasting them was much easier than boiling and draining and all that mess. 5 stars from me to you on this one.
This turned out great and was requested again!
