Provided by Holly

Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     Red Potato Salad Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 red potatoes - unpeeled, scrubbed and cubed
2 red bell peppers
2 medium heads garlic
½ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large bowl. Toss the cubed potatoes in the oil until coated, and then spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Pass the red peppers through the bowl of oil, making sure they are evenly coated. Place on a separate baking sheet.
  • Cut about 1/2 inch off the tops of the garlic and drizzle with the remaining oil from the bowl. Place on the baking sheet with the red peppers. Sprinkle the potatoes, peppers and garlic with salt and pepper, and then place both sheets in the oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Check the potatoes: they should be soft, brown and crispy. If not, return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until they are done. The peppers and garlic will take longer, and are done when the skins on the peppers are black and garlic is dark brown (no more than 40 minutes total).
  • Once everything has been roasted, place the potatoes in a large bowl and seal the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 10 minutes. (This will loosen their skins.)
  • Take the peppers out of the bag, remove their skins and seeds and chop them up. Add to the bowl with the potatoes and stir to mix.
  • Turn the garlic heads upside down and squeeze the softened garlic past into a separate, small bowl. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil and oregano until smooth. Pour the dressing onto the potatoes and peppers and toss to coat. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Best when served warm or at room temperature. To prepare in advance for an occasion, refrigerate and then reheat in the microwave just until warmed through.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for fresh, crisp lettuce, flavorful tomatoes, and pungent garlic.
  • Use a variety of textures: Incorporate a mix of soft and crunchy textures into your salad to create a more interesting eating experience. For example, you could use soft lettuce, crispy croutons, and crunchy nuts.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad: When assembling your salad, avoid overcrowding the bowl. Leave some space between the ingredients so that they can be evenly coated with dressing.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: A little dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more as needed, until the salad is evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately: Salad is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it immediately after dressing to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
