Mixed herb and roast potato salad FAQ:

How long do I roast the potatoes?

Roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes at 400°F (200°C). They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Toss them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Can I use other herbs instead of parsley, dill, and chives?

Yes, you can substitute with other fresh herbs like basil, mint, or thyme based on your preference. Just ensure the total amount of herbs is similar to maintain flavor balance.

How do I store the leftover salad?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's best enjoyed fresh, but it can be reheated in the microwave or served cold.

What size baking sheet should I use for roasting the potatoes?

A standard baking sheet (approximately 18x13 inches) works well. Ensure the potatoes are spread in a single layer to promote even roasting.

Tips:
