Roasted Potato Salad With Bacon image

Awesome recipe with the perfect pairing of tater and bacon with capers for piquancy. Delish! Easier to make than the sum of the parts suggests too. Nice. Like it that way.This recipe works great with quartered Yukon Gold potatoes so don't fret the insane price of fingerling potatoes (make plans to grow your own next year!). Be sure to chill this salad at least two hours (preferably overnight) & then bring to room temp to serve. From the Tribune's Food & Drink Weekly.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lbs potatoes (new or fingerling)
3/4 teaspoon garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
1 lb bacon, thick-cut
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard (to taste)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (to taste)
1/2 red onion, trimmed and sliced lengthwise into 1/8 -inch slices
1/4 cup capers

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Clean and halve fingerling or new potatoes lengthwise.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast the potatoes until golden brown and tender, about 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Remove and cool.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, cut the bacon crosswise into one-fourth-inch pieces. Cook the bacon in a large sauté pan over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently, watching that the bacon does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the grease for another use.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and red wine vinegar. Season with one-half teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper. Taste and adjust mustard, vinegar and seasoning if desired.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and bacon with the sliced onion. Gently stir in enough dressing to coat, then stir in the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. The salad will keep for 3 days, refrigerated. Allow the salad to warm slightly at room temperature before serving.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a great dish to bring to a potluck.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based potato salads, but this one is really good. The dressing is light and tangy, and the potatoes are perfectly roasted.

This roasted potato salad was an absolute delight! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the bacon added a smoky, savory flavor. The dressing was tangy and creamy, and it perfectly complemented the potatoes and bacon.
