Roasted Potato Salad with Tomatoes & Basil
Not every dish must be a Main Dish.
But…every dish should be a Great Dish.
I was contacted by Reser’s to create a potato salad recipe…and this was the result! Roasted Potato Salad with Tomatoes & Basil is so fresh and flavorful, it would be the perfect side to chicken, pork, or beef. The addition of the garden tomatoes offers a real kick that counterbalances the starchy potatoes, and the herbs? Well, any time you can use fresh herbs you really should – what a treat!
Our garden has been teeming with the most wonderful herbs this year, thanks in part to the milder winter we had. In this dish we used some really ripe Romas…if only THEY were out of the garden too. Soon! But, you could easily use any red tomato that you have. I don’t really recommend acheaper store bought tomato here…they just aren’t as flavorful. If you must, though…try Hot House or Vine Ripe. More than anything, Enjoy!
