Has anyone here made a potato salad using roasted potatoes? I found a
recipe that calls for them. Some of the people who made it and reviewed it
said that they tossed the potatoes with Dijon, salt and pepper before
roasting for added flavor. I will look for that Just Mayo that sf
mentioned. I see now that Earth Balance also has a mayo out that is dairy
and egg free. I should be able to make this salad pretty close to as is.
It does call for boiled eggs which I can't use in my portion but perhaps I
will just make part of it without and part with. Also has bacon in it.
Can't go wrong with bacon! And I think I will add fresh parsley even though
it isn't called for in the recipe. Some of the reviewers said that they
added herbs. Apparently when roasting the potatoes until crisp it adds a
new depth of flavor. Some people added caramelized onions as well but
seeing as how I am the only one here who really likes those, I will stick to
the green onions that the recipe calls for.

Sounds good, Julie. Roasting potatoes to crisp with some herbs, etc
sounds like a good start, but I've never tried it. I also caramelize
onions often (you aren't the only one here that likes them) but have
never used them for potato salad. Sounds like a good experiment for
maybe a very tasty potato salad. And as you mentioned, nothing goes
wrong with some bacon added. :-D

Once I go to the trouble of roasting potatoes I'm not about to screw
up their crisp exteriors with dressing. And roasted potatoes are too
soft inside for slicing.

Leftover roast potatoes make excellent homefries.

That's an interesting idea, using roasted spuds. The other
ingredients sound okay too, although I'd use either bacon or
caramelised onions - but not both of them. But that's just me.

Whatever that means. I think Yogi Berra is baseball? Not even sure.

I meant here in this house. They do eat the caramelized onions but they
don't love them like I do. I also think you would want the crunch of green
ones in a salad rather than those but I could be wrong.

Congratulations. Most people would be smart enough not to post that a
reference had gone right over their head.

One person said that she cubed them before roasting. I did wonder if the
crispness would be affected by the dressing. Thanks!

I believe I saw Ina Garten make it that way not long ago. She said it was
wonderful, but I haven't tried it.

Well... Let me just say that their 8 servings was a tad off. More like 4
servings for this house! I don't watch her often as she is on at an
inconvenient time for me so I didn't see that episode.

This isn't exactly the same thing, but went to a carnival today and got
what one vendor called "fried potato salad." The potatoes were cubed to
about 1/2 inch pieces before fried (they appeared to be pan fried, not
deep fried). The dressing was some sort of mayo mix that was very good.
Somewhere along the line bacon was added.

The potatoes were very crisp and I'm sure that was because they weren't
mixed with the dressing until ordered. I've never eaten anything like
this, but I sure would again! Very tasty!!

Interesting! Although I loved the salad, I fear that it did not love me.
Perhaps too much fat. My tummy isn't happy now.
