This Roasted Potato Salad is hands down one of my very favorite ways to make potatoes and many readers have had great success with it as well. The crispy roasted potatoes are topped with a whole grain dijon dressing and fresh goat cheese while still hot out of the oven.
These potatoes are so yummy, you may want them as an appetizer rather than a side dish, so they don't outshine your main course.
This Roasted Potato Salad with Dijon and Goat Cheese Dressing was inspired by a somewhat similar recipe from this month's issue of Cooking Light. Their version is called a Roasted Potato Salad with Creamy Dijon Vinaigrette. Now I didn't have a couple of the ingredients that recipe called for & Little Foodie ADORES oven fried potatoes, so I roasted the potatoes with the simple method I always use to make them for her, and only poured dressing on half the potatoes, as she closely watched me to ensure they were not all being "defiled"...lol. I then had a 5 minute potato cooling window to snap a few pictures.
Of course, I could have served the dressing on the side, but I wanted to let the goat cheese melt over the hot potatoes and let a bit of the tartness of the vinegar burn off, which wouldn't happen unless I dowsed the spuds, straight out of the oven.
Here is what the salad looks like right after topping with the Dijon & Goat Cheese Dressing, and how it would remain served over cooler potatoes. This may be preferable if you won't be serving the dish warm.
... and here is a bite of the melty goat cheesy goodness. [Insert a Barry White style "Oh, yeah... " ]

Looks awesome! The ingredients list calls for Dijon mustard but in the pictures it looks like grainy mustard is used, which is it?
Robin Gagnon says
I use a whole grain mustard.

Hi looking forward to making this. Do you have a substitute for the veg bouillon? Thanks
Robin Gagnon says
It is just for seasoning. Some chicken base would work. This is an older recipe, these days I would grab some Mrs. Dash and sprinkle that on.
Angela says
Thank you so much for this recipe! I've made it twice now and it is perfect! I used Mrs. Dash instead of chicken bouillon since I didn't have any and it was great. Very elevated and gourmet, but easy to make. My husband said it's the best potato salad he's ever had and I agree!
Wendy says
Thank you for this excellent, tasty recipe! I didn’t have any bouillon powder, but I think the dressing is so tasty that simple salt and pepper on the potatoes is fine. Yum!
