This recipe combines crispy roasted potatoes with zesty ingredients like olives, capers, and fresh parsley, all brought together with a tangy lemon and vinegar dressing.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut them into bite-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches in size.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss all the ingredients together to evenly coat the potatoes with oil and seasoning.
4. Roast the Potatoes:
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside. Be sure to turn them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
5. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
6. Assemble the Salad:
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
- Add the sliced olives, chopped parsley, and capers to the bowl.
7. Dress the Salad:
- Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and other ingredients.
- Gently toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are well coated with the dressing and the other ingredients are evenly distributed.
8. Serve:
- Serve the salad warm.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for the crispiest roast texture.

- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Pat the potatoes dry after rinsing to remove excess moisture which helps in achieving a crispy exterior.

- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (around 425°F or 220°C) for the best results.

- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting to enhance the flavor.

- Mix the salad while the potatoes are still warm to help them absorb the flavors of the dressing.

- Feel free to add other ingredients like cherry tomatoes or red onions for additional flavor and texture.

This warm roast potato salad is a simple yet delicious dish that is sure to impress. The combination of roasted potatoes with the zesty tang of lemon juice and vinegar creates a tantalizing flavor profile. Serve it warm for the best experience and enjoy the medley of textures and flavors in every bite.
