Roasted Potato & Green Bean Salad



This is a great make ahead side dish, terrific served with chicken or meat.
You can leave it out at room temperature for hours until ready to serve.

Roasted Potatoes w/ Green Bean Salad:

1 lb. of baby red potatoes with skins on
1/4 red onion, sliced skinny
1 1b. green beans, trimmed

Dressing:
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
1 shallot, chopped
1 tbsp of Dijon mustard
salt and pepper
chopped fresh parsley

Whisk dressing ingredients and put aside.

You can use as many potatoes and as many green beans as you like. The more, the merrier.

Quarter your potatoes and drizzle them with kosher salt and olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast at 400F degrees for about 25 minutes until crispy.



Blanch your green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain in a colander.
You can put them in an ice bath if you want (stops the cooking process), but I always skip that step (lazy).



Add your roasted potatoes, green beans and onions to a large bowl and pour dressing over until coated.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper & garnish with fresh parsley.



This salad is best served warm, but like I said, it is great at room temperature, made a few hours ahead!
Enjoy!

Love it! My mother-in-law used to make a hot green bean and potato dish, sometimes with meat, sometimes not. Your version is great for the summer weather.

This is my all time favorite potato salad!! My mom showed me how to make it (similar) years ago. Yours has the Dijon addition, which sounds even better! I'm just gonna have to make it this weekend... or, I can come to your house ;-)

I swear you could mix roasted potatoes with socks and I would still eat them, I love them that much. But here - tossed with another of my favorite vegetables - they look like heaven.
I prefer this over poatato salad with mayo. Never have tried the potatoes roasted before. I think next time, this is what I'll do.

Hmmm, love the roasted flavor from the potatoes.
I make something similar Stace, but I always boil the potatoes, roasting gives it much more flavor, I'll have to try it that way for a side to my BBQ's.

I love salads like this! Might have to make this for our summer block party - especially since everything ends up sitting out for so long.

Awesome Stace. I served something similar at Passover, had cherry tomatoes in it too. Yours looks perfect! Important to have those recipes that can sit a room temp and be good!

Looks amazing ... and even better that it can be made ahead and served at room-temp or slightly warmed. Definitely bookmarking this!
Stumbled across this on the Foodbuzz Top 9 - Congrats!

I love the salad idea... I definitely want to give this a try!

What a terrific salad! I have green beans in my garden this year and I was searching for a yummy recipe to use them in. I love that you use roasted potatoes in this.

Excellent! I found your recipe on a Google search, and it was exactly what I needed. I used juice from half a lemon instead of vinegar, and about 4 T of olive oil. I also used spray olive oil on the roasting potatoes. I would definitely make this again.
