Easy Roasted Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Mustard Dressing
Easy Roasted Potato Salad is the perfect side dish for any meal. After making this many times, I’ve discovered the trick to getting the potatoes just right is to toss them in oil before roasting. This ensures they’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Speaking of crispy, the combination of golden potatoes and fresh herbs makes this dish irresistible. If you’re looking for a lighter side dish, try serving it with my Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta Bake.
