Description
A British twist on classic potato salad using golden roasted salad potatoes and a fresh yoghurt dressing. Perfect for BBQs, picnics, or feeding a crowd.
If you’re after a proper crowd-pleasing side dish, this roasted potato salad is a brilliant choice. Instead of the usual boiled spuds, I roast baby salad potatoes until they’re crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle, then toss them with a tangy herby yoghurt dressing. It’s lighter than the mayo heavy version, full of flavour, and ideal for BBQs, summer lunches, or easy laid back summer cooking. Whether you’re feeding a group or just fancy something different, this recipe is simple, satisfying and packed with taste.
Ingredients
- 500g Baby New Potatoes Like Jersey Royals
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 4 Garlic cloves chopped in half
- 1–2 Tbsp of Dried Herbs like Rosemary, Thyme, Sage – I love the Cape Herb & Spice range – The Greek Lemon & Herb and the Mediterranean Roasts ones are my favourite – Affiliate Link below in the notes section
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 Spring Onions (scallions) chopped
- 3 tbsp Natural yoghurt
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- Optional 1/2 tsp of garlic granules
- Optional grating of parmesan cheese
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in a pan until cooked, then drain and cool. If cooking in an oven rather than air fryer then pre heat to 190 degrees centigrade.
Place the potatoes evenly in a layer on your air fryer tray or oven tray, with a little space in-between. Then take a glass and squish the potatoes down. The video shows how to do this. Then sprinkle over 1 tsp of salt. Then sprinkle over your choice of dried herbs. After that drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Place in the oven or air fryer for 30 minutes. The air fryer I use is also within the affiliate links.
To make the dressing you place the spring onions, yoghurt, mayonnaise, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix. Remove the garlic from the potatoes, squish the garlic from the skins, add to the yoghurt mix. Then I add an extra 1/2 tsp of garlic granules in for extra taste.
Remove the potatoes from the tray, place in a large dish or plates. Drizzle the dressing over, or leave in a bowl and let others do it!
If you are doing one large plate, some optional grated parmesan cheese is also delicious!
