A tangy and fresh Balsamic Potato Salad featuring tender roasted potatoes tossed with a flavorful balsamic vinegar dressing and fragrant herbs, perfect for a light side dish or picnic accompaniment.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if roasting. Wash and halve or quarter the potatoes ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Roast the potatoes by tossing them in a little olive oil and spreading them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until crisp and golden, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender but firm, then drain well.
  3. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
  4. Toss Salad: Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Toss gently to coat all the potatoes evenly.
  5. Add Herbs and Serve: Sprinkle the fresh chopped herbs over the salad and give a final gentle toss. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for quicker roasting and nice bite-sized pieces.
  • The Dijon mustard in the dressing helps emulsify and adds a subtle tang but can be omitted for a simpler dressing.
  • This salad tastes great warm or cold and can be prepared in advance.
  • For extra flavor, add thinly sliced red onions or roasted garlic.
  • Adjust balsamic vinegar quantity to taste for more or less acidity.
