Creamy Roasted Potato Salad

Roasting potatoes is the ultimate way to avoid watery, mushy or bland potato salad. Boiled potatoes can hold on to moisture (even if they seem dry!), which can affect the texture of the final dish. Roasted potatoes hold their shape without the risk of them falling apart, and the roasting process concentrates the flavor of the potatoes so your potato salad will be extra savory. We love the anise flavor of tarragon in the dressing but feel free to use a mix of fresh herbs to make this easy side dish your own.

Garlicky Potato Galette

More than forming a mesmerizing spiral, the potato slices in this potato galette become just slightly crisped and golden on the outside, giving way to buttery, tender shingles of potatoes on the inside. The combo of herbs, onion, garlic, Parmesan and just a hint of bright lemon zest flavor the dish. The skins provide some texture, but you can take the extra step of peeling the potatoes if you prefer. A mandoline is a handy tool to use for this recipe; you need to get the slices consistently thin for the best results.

Dill-Pickle Cauliflower & Potato Salad

Chopped dill pickles offer little nuggets of crunch to potato salad, but don't overlook the brine. Its big, tangy flavor can be used in salad dressings or as a drizzle for roasted or grilled veggies. A little bit goes a long way with pickle brine. It's high in sodium, so if you're using it to flavor a dish or dressing, start small.
