This potato salad was going to be a classic but then we roasted the potatoes and it took things to a whole new level! We love warm roasted potato salad!
Will Potato Salad Keep Overnight?
I think potato salad is one of those things that is BETTER the next day.
Its definitely fine to mix it the night before as far as food safety guidelines go, as a matter of fact I think its fine to go as far as 72 hours with it if you really need to.
If the salad is refrigerated, left overs should keep 3-4 days.
It’s no secret that we love food, any food, but I especially love roasted food. Roasted Cheesy Basil Veggies, Honey Roasted Red Potatoes, Roasted Tomato Cauliflower Soup, I mean I could go on forever. I started to make some potato salad the other day, yes it’s cold out but we were still going to be grilling up some pork and potato salad, when on a whim I decided to roast the potatoes instead of boiling until tender. Then I quickly learned that they were going to take forever to cool down and dinner was ready so I went ahead and dressed them warm. Oh. My. Golly. Warm roasted potato salad was born and it’s pretty much our go to potato salad recipe now.
Just start with golden or red potatoes, they are creamier than the russet though any potato really will work. Anyway, if they are pretty big, which they usually are I quarter them and then quarter them again. Then I just throw them on a cookie sheet drizzled with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Potatoes actually need quite a bit of seasoning so don’t be shy, just toss it all on there.
Is Potato Salad Gluten Free?
You may be thinking that potato salad is naturally gluten-free, but it is the mayonnaise in the creamy recipes that is the culprit.
You need to use gluten free mayonnaise for gluten free potato salad.
After roasting until tender and golden I allow them to cool a bit on the pan. Not to room temperature, no just to warm, trust me. Then I mix up a combination of our egg salad and deviled eggs dressing and throw it all together. It’s delightful and you just have to try it. Maybe even bust these out this Thanksgiving and you could TOTALLY throw some hard boiled egg in there and that would be crazy good. Gosh, I think I will do that next time. Or right now, I do have leftovers…
Can You Freeze Potato Salad?
Mayonnaise doesn’t freeze well.
The potatoes will get an off color from the mayo, which separates.
So, I would not suggest it.
