Tips for Making the Perfect Potato Salad:
1. Start by choosing the right potatoes. For a potato salad that is crispy and flavorful, go with a waxy potato variety like red bliss or yukon gold.
2. Cut the potatoes into even pieces so they cook evenly.
3. Toss the potatoes with some olive oil and salt before roasting them in a hot oven. This will help them crisp up and develop a delicious roasted flavor.
4. When it comes to the dressing, chimichurri is a great option because it is both flavorful and tart. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
5. Lastly, be sure to let the salad chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving so that the flavors can meld together. This potato salad is best served cold or at room temperature.
