ROASTED BABY DUTCH YELLOW POTATO SALAD WITH DILL RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Roasted Baby Dutch Yellow Potato Salad with Dill Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Zoesown

Number Of Ingredients 10

Dressing:
1 pound Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon minced Garlic
In a small bowl, combine
1 Tablespoon nonfat Yogurt
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon minced fresh Parsley
1 Tablespoon minced fresh Dill
1/8 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub potatoes under cold water, removing any dark spots. Cut potatoes in quarters or in half if small, you want to have them about the same size. Pile potatoes in a roasting pan or glass baking dish and toss with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil and garlic; spread potatoes out evenly in a single layer and roast for 35 minutes. Check halfway through and flip to make sure they brown evenly. When potatoes are cooked through, remove from roasting pan to a medium bowl, making sure to scrape any leftover oil and brown bits into the bowl. Toss warm potatoes in dressing and serve. Makes 4 servings

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as baby potatoes or red potatoes, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes in salted water until they are just tender prevents them from becoming mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes before assembling the salad: This allows the potatoes to absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables, such as celery, carrots, and onions, adds color, texture, and flavor to the salad.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A well-balanced dressing that is not too heavy or too light is key to a delicious potato salad. Experiment with different types of dressings, such as mayonnaise-based dressings, vinaigrette dressings, or yogurt-based dressings.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled, so it's important to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:
