Description
Warm Honey Dijon Potato Salad delivers creamy craveworthy summer flavor as a bright side that elevates everyday potatoes for barbecues and picnics
Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
2 celery stalks, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped cornichons or pickle relish
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
Pinch of paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast 25–30 minutes, turning once, until edges are crisp and centers are tender and creamy.
Meanwhile, whisk together honey, Dijon, vinegar, mayonnaise, and sour cream (or yogurt) in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then taste and adjust for tang and sweetness.
When potatoes come out hot from the oven, transfer them to a large bowl and fold in the red onion, celery, cornichons, and optional eggs. Pour the dressing over while the potatoes are warm and toss gently to coat; the warmth helps the dressing cling and become glossy.
Finish with fresh herbs and a final taste. If you’re planning to serve later, let the salad rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes or refrigerate to meld flavors, then toss again before serving.
