- For the best roasted potato salad, make sure potatoes are spread in a single layer while roasting to achieve a crispy texture.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray, or the potatoes will steam instead of roast.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the dressing to keep them crispy.
- Taste the dressing before mixing and adjust salt, acidity, or sweetness as needed.
- Fresh herbs like dill and parsley should be added at the end for maximum flavor.
- This roasted potato salad can be served warm or chilled depending on your preference.
- If making ahead, store components separately and combine before serving for better texture.
