Roasted potato salad with thyme FAQ:
Roast the potatoes at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Stir them halfway through for even cooking.
Yes, you can prepare the roasted potatoes in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving, or enjoy them cold in the salad.
Waxy potatoes, such as new potatoes or Yukon Gold, are ideal for roasting as they hold their shape well. Russet potatoes can also be used but may become softer.
If you don’t have tarragon, you can substitute it with fresh dill or parsley for a different flavor profile, although the taste will vary slightly.
The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can check for doneness by piercing one with a fork; it should be tender inside.
Tips:
- Use evenly sized potato pieces.: Cut your potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and become uniformly crispy.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet.: Make sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of roast, resulting in less crispy potatoes.
- Toss potatoes halfway through roasting.: Give the potatoes a good toss halfway through the roasting process to ensure even browning on all sides.
- Use fresh herbs if possible.: Fresh thyme and tarragon provide a more vibrant flavor than dried herbs. If you must use dried herbs, use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
- Season to taste at the end.: Taste the potato salad before serving and adjust the salt and pepper if needed for the perfect balance of flavors.
