If You Love Roasted Potatoes–

Then you are going to flip over this potato salad!

Roasting gives potatoes a great depth of flavor. It also makes them a bit crunchy. I absolutely love them and I don’t know why I never thought of doing a potato salad with them before.

Not that I haven’t seen various salads made with roasted potatoes; I have but they were always some complicated concoction with other additions I wasn’t crazy about. Let’s just say, I never made any of them.

You can roast the potatoes in the oven or do them on the grill. However, you’ll need a grill basket to do them in otherwise they will fall through the grates of your grill. A grill basket was one of the best purchases I made so if you do a lot of outdoor grilling too, you’ll love it as much as I do.

Potatoes: Make It Easy On Yourself

I used small gourmet potatoes. They’re the ones that come in a mesh bag or plastic pouch. These are already pre-washed and they are firm potatoes which is pretty much required for roasting–or salads for that matter.

The potatoes I used were Little Potato Company brand. I used the “Terrific Trio” variety. You get a good mix of red, yellow and blue in those. However, any brand will do and you don’t have to have a mix of colors therefore, one variety will do as well.

Yes Peas!

Peas are the perfect add-in for this potato salad.

They not only add a pop of color to a rather monochromatic dish, they also add a touch of sweetness.

You don’t cook the peas–well, if you want to do that, it’s ok too–you just defrost them and rinse them under some tepid water and you’re set to go.
