Roast Your Potato Salad Spuds ASAP For The Perfect Crispy Texture
NEWS
By TIM FORSTER
If you’d like to add an extra dimension of crispy texture to your potato salad, consider roasting the spuds with their skins on and upgrading the salad dressing.
Use a waxy potato variety, like red potatoes, for this salad. Roast them until they’re golden and crisp — make sure they’re a bit crispier than your normal roasted potatoes.
Before roasting, you can either season them as usual or impart some extra flavor using ingredients like garlic or rosemary, depending on your palette.
As for the dressing, use mayo sparingly or skip it altogether and opt for a vinaigrette-style dressing instead to maintain the crispiness of the potatoes.
You can top your roasted potato salad with bright flavors like dill, tarragon, basil, or parsley. Some recipes also incorporate red or green onion for extra flavor.
