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 is made with my daughter's favorite oven fried potatoes. I roasted the potatoes with the simple method I always use to make them for her, and only poured the vinaigrette 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.
This goat cheese Dijon vinaigrette would also be delicious on boiled or steamed potatoes (hot or cold), for a broccoli salad or over a simple green salad as well.
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... " ]

This looks and sounds amazing. Several rows of potatoes are ready to be dug up in the garden, and the chives are ready to be cut, and the Amish family down the road has some fresh goat cheese. I'm going to try this tomorrow night! Thanks for sharing!

Love that picture. I'm not a fan of goat cheese so I would definitely have to sub it out with another cheese. have any suggestions?

I've made it with blue cheese, and liked it. You could even take a chunk of nice sharp cheddar & dice it small.
