Kitchen Tips
- When roasting the potatoes, make sure the pan is not overcrowded. If overcrowded, the potatoes will steam instead and you won’t get a crispy, golden brown exterior.
- This potato salad is so versatile! Tweak the ingredient proportions if you really like blue cheese or bacon…just sayin 🙂

Hi my husband found this. I want to try doing it cold. Would you recommend then just letting the potatoes get cold or refrigerate overnight and then mixing everything together? Thanks!
Tania says
Hi Ashley, either way works!
