Lemon-Basil Potato Salad image

This recipe makes a nice change from regular potato salad. The potatoes are roasted, tossed with a nice vinaigrette, then served over a bed of spinach. No mayo, so its picnic friendly.

2 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch wedges

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potato salad turned out bland. I think I might have used too much mayonnaise.
