Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 fillets Anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Croutons
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, anchovy fillets (if using), lemon juice, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth and emulsified.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl while still warm.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the roasted potatoes and toss gently to coat them evenly.
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and croutons to the bowl and mix lightly.
Plate the potato salad in a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
