Roasted Potato Salad

I’m in the middle of a move. It’s hard to leave a place, a home, that has become a part of me. Plaster walls and a stone patio that has served as a backdrop to a phase of my life that I’m not ready to close the chapter on. A small house, my first house, that saw Tater grow in my belly, watch as I nervously brought her home for the hospital, rooms that served as the setting of her first steps that she took so early in the first months of her life. A place that helped my husband and I mend in a difficult time in our marriage. A kitchen that has given light and heat to the food in all of my photos. I leave with a heavy heart, but with a hope for the future and what the next chapter has for me, for my family.

So, forgive me if the posts roll out a little slower over next few weeks. And if I’m not as quick to respond to you, to everyone, who talks to me over the network of social media that has given so much breath to my life in the past few years.

This is a simple potato salad. I roasted the vegetables instead of boiling them, roasting gives such beautiful flavor with so little effort.

Roasted Potato Salad

1/2 red onion, chopped

4 cups red potatoes, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp sea salt

6 oz artichoke hearts, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup blue cheese salad dressing

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp deli mustard

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425.

On a baking sheet, place the red onions, potatoes and pell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, toss to coat. Roast at 425 for 25-35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender, tossing every 10-15 minutes while roasting. Allow to cool.

In a bowl, add the remaining ingredients, along with the roasted vegetables and toss to coat. You can serve this either warm or cold, depending on your preference.

Moving is stressful, hopefully it will be well worth it. This potato salad sounds so good. It sounds so flavorful, and I love red potatoes!

I’m not a fan of regular potato salad–you know, the kind they sell at delis and grocery stores? But this is the kind of potato salad I LOVE!

I hope your move goes smoothly! Change is hard, but I’m sure it’s for the best…

good luck on your move! this potato sounds absolutely delicious – i love that it uses sour cream + bleu cheese dressing rather than straight mayo. between that + the roasted veggies, the flavor must be just amazing!

Moving is always a pain in the ass. I just moved in January and it was, well, quite painful. If you want, I’ll send some delicious treats along your way to make the transition a bit better.

And great idea on roasting all the veggies. I’m sure it was such a flavorful salad.

Roasting is such a perfect way to adapt this potato salad. I love it! Good luck with the move! My husband and I are moving out of our first house at the end of May and while we are more than excited to be onto the next chapter and living closer to family, as we’ve been packing we’ve realized just how many memories we’ve made here. It’s always tough to live. Wishing you good things in the weeks to come though!

Moving is definitely stressful and hard. I hope you get through it smoothly. This potato salad looks so comforting and quick to throw together. I’m moving at the end of this month too so I’m going to know how you feel. xoxo

Yup, roasting is always how I like my veggies but I would never have thought of doing it to make potato salad, clever! Good luck moving, a huge thing to do but just another chapter. I’m sure you’ll have tons more new memories to come at the new place πŸ™‚
Take care..

I made something similar once and the roasted potatoes make SUCH a difference. The artichoke hearts sound like a perfect addition… they’re one of my favorites.
