Roasted New Potato Salad

With summer around the corner, it's time for a huge onslaught of BBQ recipes! I already posted a bunch of chicken grilling recipes, and now it's the side dishes turn to shine. This roasted new potato salad recipe is a longtime favorite of mine, and I first posted this recipe 11 years ago! This potato salad recipe is made with very little mayonnaise (only 1 tablespoon) and is a olive oil-based dressing. The majority of the flavor in this potato salad comes from the delicious roasted potatoes, red onions, olives, and parsley. Such simple ingredients but so much flavor!

Ingredients in Roasted Potato Salad

  • New Red Potatoes - are they called new potatoes or red potatoes? I'm just gonna call them new red potatoes. You know the ones I'm talking about!
  • Olive Oil
  • Herbs de Provence - this is a French combination of herbs that typically includes rosemary, fennel seed, thyme, marjoram, oregano, basil, and tarragon!
  • Salt
  • Red Onion
  • Kalamata Olives
  • Parsley
  • Mayonnaise
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • Fresh Garlic

This is also one of those salads that gets better with time, so it can definitely be made ahead of time.  Just make sure you let the salad sit out for about 20 minutes before serving it because it is much better at room temperature.

How to Make Roasted New Potato Salad

To start, prep the potatoes by washing them and quartering them. These potatoes are then tossed in olive oil, herbs de Provence, and salt and then placed on a baking sheet. Place the potatoes in a cold oven and then preheat to 450 degrees F. This is an unusual way to roast potatoes (placing them in a cold oven to start) but they are very delicious! Roast them for 22-25 minutes until they're golden brown.

While the potatoes are roasting, prep the rest of the potato salad by slicing the red onion, chopping the olives and parsley, and making the dressing. To make the dressing, combine olive oil, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic, and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine.

Once the potatoes are done, let them cool a bit. Then in a large bowl, add the potatoes, red onion, olives, parsley, and dressing, and stir well to mix. Then serve!

Roasted New Potato Salad Questions

  • Can I omit the olives? You can, but it will be less delicious 😉 I know there are many anti-olive people out there, so I will say this salad can definitely be made without them.
  • Can this be made with a different type of potato? I have only made this salad with red new potatoes, but the small golden potatoes or Yukon potatoes would also work. I don't think russet potatoes would work super well, as they have a different texture when roasted.
  • Can this be made ahead of time? Yes! In fact, I think this potato salad is best the next day, as the flavors have had a chance to really blend together. I also prefer this salad at more of a room temperature as opposed to straight from the fridge.
  • What should I serve this with? This potato salad is delicious with burgers, such as my Blue Cheese Burgers, or some Italian Grilled Chicken!
