Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Bacon
- 1.5 pounds red or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 6 slices smoky turkey bacon
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Seasonings and Garnish
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare and Roast the Potatoes: Wash and cut your potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Toss them with extra virgin olive oil (natural), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- Cook the Smoky Turkey Bacon: While the potatoes roast, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces. This adds a delightful smoky flavor and satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the potatoes.
- Make the Zesty Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), extra virgin olive oil (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), Dijon mustard (natural), a pinch of salt, and black pepper. This tangy dressing brings everything together with a perfect punch.
- Combine and Toss: In a large bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, turkey bacon, fresh chives, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Chill and Serve: Let the salad cool to room temperature or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and enhances the overall experience of the Best Roasted Potato Salad.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like red or Yukon gold to maintain firmness after roasting.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer to ensure they roast instead of steam.
- Lightly toasting garlic powder or other spices before mixing into the dressing can amplify flavors.
- Adjust the level of apple cider vinegar to your taste to keep the salad harmonious.
- Serve at room temperature for the best flavor melding.
