Can I make this potato salad ahead of time?
Yes. Roast and crisp the potatoes up to 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container. Toss with the dressing up to 4 hours before serving to keep the potatoes crispy.
How do I keep the potatoes crispy if I make this in advance?
Store the roasted potatoes and dressing separately. Combine just before serving, or wait to dress until 30 minutes before eating.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Baby gold potatoes are ideal because they're waxy and hold their shape when smashed and roasted. Red potatoes are a good substitute.
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?
Fresh herbs are recommended for flavor and texture. If using dried, reduce to 1 tsp dill and 1 tsp parsley, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
How do I know when the potatoes are crispy enough?
Roast until the edges are golden brown and crispy to the touch, about 20–25 minutes at 425°F. Some edges should be darker for maximum crispiness.
