- Perfect for a Crowd. This is a large side salad that serves about 8 people. It’s great for cook outs and family dinners.

Ingredients For Roasted Red Potato Salad
- Potatoes. This recipe is best with red potatoes. Make sure to cut them into bit-sized pieces.
- Olive Oil. To really get that potato flavor out, olive oil is the best oil to cook the potatoes in.
- Eggs. Make hard-boiled eggs in the air fryer ahead of time. Cool, remove the shells, and chop them into small pieces.
- Celery. Rinse the celery stalks and chop them into small pieces.
- Green Onion. Cut the white part of the green onion and then part of the green part for the best taste.
- Bacon. This recipe uses fresh bacon bits! Make the bacon ahead of time and then cut it into tiny pieces.
- Mayonnaise. Use your favorite brand of mayonnaise. I use Hellmann’s.
- Blue Cheese Dressing. For the best flavor use chunky blue cheese dressing.
- Sour Cream. To get that extra creamy but tart taste, I love the addition of sour cream.
- Seasoning. Salt, pepper, and paprika are all used based on your taste preferences!
Tips for the Best Results
- Season To Taste. Make sure to season the salad according to how you and your family like it!
- Chill before serving. For the best flavor, chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend together.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of roast, resulting in soggy potatoes.
- Toppings. Add your favorite potato topping when serving like cheese, more bacon, and green onions.
How To Make The Best Roasted Potato Salad
- Preheat. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Roast. Once you spread the potatoes onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, roast them in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Set aside and cool.
- Add. Place roasted potatoes into a large salad bowl with the hard-cooked eggs, celery, green onion, and bacon.
- Mix. Stir in mayonnaise, blue cheese dressing, and sour cream. Add salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Rest. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
What To Serve With Red Potato Salad
This Red Potato Salad is the perfect side dish to go with my Crockpot Pulled Pork Sandwiches, or my favorite Crockpot Pork Chops.
Leftovers & Storing
- Store. Store any leftover potato salad in the refrigerator. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an air tight container. It lasts up to 4 days. Before serving again, be sure to do a quick mix with a serving spoon to make sure the ingredients haven’t settled.
