Red Potato Salad Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by cutting new red potatoes into bite-size pieces and roasting them at 400°F with olive oil, salt, and pepper until tender and golden brown. Garlic and chopped shallots are added during the last few minutes of roasting for softened aromatics and flavor integration.
Once cooled, the potatoes are tossed with capers, fresh rosemary, thyme, culinary lavender buds (or fresh lavender), Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise to create a creamy herbaceous dressing. The addition of reserved caper brine adjusts seasoning and thins the dressing slightly, lending a subtle tang.
The result is a potato salad with a roasted depth, balanced herbal notes, and a rich but bright dressing. It works well as a side for grilled meats, picnics, or potlucks.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds new potatoes chopped into bite-size pieces
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion chopped, or shallot
- 2 tablespoons capers reserve brine
- 2 teaspoons rosemary fresh, chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme fresh chopped
- 2 teaspoons Culinary Lavender Buds or fresh chopped lavender buds and leaves
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each potato into bite-size pieces. Lay them on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with a little oil. Lightly salt and pepper.
- Shake the pan to spread the oil around. Then roast the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Make sure to flip once halfway through. Add the chopped garlic and shallots to the potatoes 5 minutes before they are ready to come out of the oven.
- Once the potatoes and garlic are roasted, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then toss them with the capers, fresh herbs, Dijon mustard and mayo. Mix well, and add 1-2 teaspoons caper juice to season and thin out the dressing if needed. *Be careful with the caper brine—it’s really salty! Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
