Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for extra crunch.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with the olive oil and minced garlic until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the potato chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to turn them halfway through cooking for even roasting.
- While the potatoes are roasting, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Transfer the warm potatoes to a large serving bowl.
- Add the drained and rinsed capers to the bowl with the roasted potatoes.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives over the mixture.
- Pour the sour cream and mayonnaise dressing over the roasted potatoes and capers. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
- Serve the crunchy roast potato and caper salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- To ensure even roasting, cut the potatoes into similarly sized pieces.
- Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel before coating them with olive oil to help achieve extra crispiness.
- For more flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or zest to the dressing.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs like parsley or basil to customize the salad to your liking.
- Roast the potatoes on a single layer to prevent steaming and ensure maximum crunchiness.
- Add the capers towards the end of the roasting process if you prefer them warm and slightly crispy.
And there you have it! A delectable Crunchy Roast Potato and Caper Salad that's bursting with flavor and texture. Serve it warm or cold, as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy the compliments that are sure to come with every bite!
