Roasted Potato Salad.
I’ve inherited most physical and personality traits I possess from my dad.
My green eyes. My type A-ness. Hypochondria. Translucent, freckled skin. Thick hair. Annoyance at unpunctuality. Spider phobia. Chocolate cravings. Insane sweating. Aversions to mayonnaise and things of the like.
I don’t really love it. Mayonnaise that is. The condiment, not the character, better known as Patricia, from my favorite Nickelodeon show Doug.
There is a time and a place for me + mayo, and that time and place is usually on a BLT stacked with lots of B and barely any L and T. Just enough L and T so you all stop judging me. And a smooth, sheer smear of mayo.
That’s it.
No more, no less.
Unless it’s loaded baked potato salad, I almost always skip it. Give me bacon or give me none.
Except for…. caramely sweet potatoes roasted with yukon golds and crisp green beans – my favorite way to eat green beans – tossed in a coating of parmesan cheese, fresh dill and buttery roasted garlic. Now this you need to try.
Roasted Potato Salad
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and chopped
- 10 small yukon gold potatoes, quartered
- 1 pound of fresh green beans
- 2 heads of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Chop sweet potatoes (I peeled mine) and yukon golds (I didn’t peel those) into uniform cubes and throw them in a bowl. Cut the fresh green beans in half to shorten each piece and add them to the bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper. Using your hands, toss potatoes and green beans until all is coated. Spread them on a non-stick baking sheet. Take the garlic heads and chop off the top to reveal the top of each clove. Rub the head chopped side down in the oiled bowl to coat with olive oil (there should be some left in the bowl that didn’t sick to the potatoes). Place garlic heads face-up on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flip and bake for 15-20 more.
- While the potatoes are roasting, in a separate bowl combine 1/4 cup olive oil, parmesan cheese, dill and parsley and whisk. Once the potatoes are done, remove from the oven to cool and set garlic heads aside for 5 minutes. Once cool enough to touch, squeeze roasted garlic into the olive oil mixture. Using a whisk, smash and stir the garlic into the olive oil.
- Dump potatoes and green beans into a large serving bowl and cover with the garlic and olive oil mix. Toss to coat throughly and serve.

I also hate mayonnaise! (Unless it is called aoli – then I like to dip my French fries in it, and smear it on my sandwich.) This potato salad looks amazing!! Enjoy Austin!
I completely agree with you on aoli.
Yum printing recipe thank you!!!
It looks entirely perfect.
btw, I inherited all of my physical characteristics from my dad. Thanks, Dad, for those big Swedish bones. Ugh.
want this for dinner. hi from houston!
I never liked Mayo either. I am also my father’s daughter. I also want to eat everything you post. We have so much in common :)
I despise mayonnaise but LOVE miracle whip :)
I’d love a big bowl of this salad for lunch!
I feel like the only person on the planet that doesn’t like potato salad, but I really think it has everything to do with boiled potatoes–what’s to like?! Bleck. But roasted potatoes…are just dreamy.
That salad looks amazing! Definitely a step up from the usual potato salad.
Have fun on your wkd away!!
Great photo! I’ll be at the IACP on Friday! Hope you are enjoying the conference and lovely Austin!
Heather – we gotta meet!
Loving the new website! Have fun in Austin!!
Thanks Jenn!
I’m with you on the mayo. Whatever I used to mix with mayo has been replaced with Greek yogurt.
This potato salad looks like my type! :-)
I’m okay with mayo, but like your version of potato salad here better anyways!
Yum! Might have to try this soon with those Asiago Chicken Nuggets you posted a few posts ago. Love the new website! :-)
Meant to add that I LOVE that this recipe doesn’t contain any mayo like “traditional” potato salad. Super yum!
Oh, I just love the look of this potato salad, Jess! Adding it to my menu very soon :)
So I saw this recipe today and it reminded me of you lol 100% BACON. http://www.peppersandsmoke.com/bbq/burgers/
I love roasted veggies. Sweet potatoes in a potato salad is such a good idea!
I do need these! I’ve been addicted to your roast green beans since I first tried them and these additions look even better… I do like mayonnaise though, please don’t hate me :-)
Love the new blog look!
Hope you have fun in Austin- it’s my town! Yee haw!
Hate mayo~ Love this salad, am going to make this tomorrow~ Yummo~
Love Bacon!
OMG!!!! Ground Bacon Burger with pepperjack cheese!!!!!! I have to have this~
I just drooled on my keyboard~
I love garlic but have never roasted it whole like that. I’m definitely going to have to try this vs. just roasting veggies with garlic on them. Yum, I can’t wait!
This looks awesome and I want some now please. :)
roasted potatoes…when they are roasted correctly they are seriously one of the best things ever! my biggest pet peeve is getting homefries at a restaurant and they are SOGGY and flavorless or overly salty….such a dissapointment!
I absolutely loathe mayo. Bleh!! I swear it makes my throat close up and I start to gag. Unless its homemade mayo on fries. Then its delicious.
Ummm your description of yourself reminded me of someone…ME. Well, except for the whole I’m Indian thing, but yeah, personality traits…right on! Funny!
Our dill died yesterday so I’m still in mourning.
Why do an entire post about how much you hate mayonnaise and then say “…except this recipe” when the recipe itself has no mayo in it?
I think its hilarious that you ranted about mayo and then the recipe is mayo-free, just the way I like it! :)
I truly appreciated your comment on Doug. I grew up watching Doug pine over Patty, his trusty dog Pork Chop, and his BFF Skeeter! Oh, how I loved this show.
Hey I LOVE the new blog layout. Very classy and clean and gorgeous.

My god!! I think we have the same dad!! (That would also explain why I find you so adorable!) I’m exactly all the things you said, minus de green eyes! (they are blue). I’m sooooo with you on this mayo thing, I hate it! Except maybe homemade curry mayo with oven-bake sweet potato fries. Anyway, hope you enjoy yourself in Austin!

Is this served hot, cold or room temperature? it looks delish either way. I am new to your blog and really enjoy all the recipes. Thank you!
Either way! Mine was room temperature, but I also tried it hot and cold – DELISH.
Mmm, looks delicious. Great idea!
That looks incredible. I am a huge fan of roasted veggies, and in a salad? Divine! As for mayo, I like it in things — egg salad or cranberry mayo, for example. But I don’t smear plain mayo on anything for me (my son adores it).
This potato salad looks amazing. I LOVE that it doesn’t have mayo (and that it has some good-for-you sweet potatoes in it!). Thanks for sharing.
Am SO making this. I’m still setting up my kitchen here in San Antonio. Just bought a house – wondering how long before the humidity actually kills me. Good luck in Austin – looks like a fun gig. If you make it back to the Burgh alive, appreciate the humidity there. Texas is a special kind of hell about the heat.
Just look at that garlic!! Great job yet again girl. :)
I’m making a potato salad this weekend! How funny you just posted this!

OMG! I was just in Austin for the Michael Buble concert and stayed at the Hilton where they held the convention! I would have totally tried to find/meet you! Heck, I would have been just as excited about that as I was about the concert and I love MB. Darn I missed out.
Ah!!
The sweet potatoes in there are perfect! Love this roasted salad!
Mmmm vegetables! The more I get to know you through your blog, the more you are starting to like veggies! It looks delicious and I’ll be making it for my blog, http://www.kissedbysweets.blogspot.com, one of these days! Of course, crediting you!!
I’m with you – no mayo. :( Ick. However, now that I’m going to try to make my own, maybe that will change? All said, the only mayo-potato salad that I eat is my mom’s, which has more sour cream than mayo. :) BUT, this roasted salad looks like it would fit into my limited-may-potato-salad diet as well. :)
HOLY GARLIC! I am going to cook this up soon. I love love love this recipe. Thanks!
Oh gosh! I’m all over this baby! Like corn on a cob… mwah!
I am LOVING the larger photos on the blog now!! You have blown my mind with this potato salad. The colors are beautiful and the ingredient list sound delish!
Um…making this tomorrow night too!! I LOVED that cartoon! I tried convincing my boyfriend last Halloween that we should be Patti and Doug…I think that would be such fun costumes!
made this a few nighs ago and it was delish!! loved it!
