Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are of even size for uniform cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Spread the seasoned potato pieces out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Be sure to stir them halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, vinegar, finely chopped onion, Dijon mustard, and fresh tarragon.
- Whisk together until the dressing is well-blended and smooth.
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a large salad bowl.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently to combine, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve the Roasted potato salad warm or at room temperature.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley or tarragon if desired.
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.
Enjoy your delicious Roasted potato salad with thyme! This dish combines the robustness of roasted potatoes with the aromatic notes of thyme and tarragon, all tied together by the tangy kick of Dijon mustard. It's a delightful, flavor-packed dish that's perfect for any occasion.
