Roast Potato And Steamed Bean Salad

Make on Fresco
Serves 4-6 Prep Time 2 hours   Rated:

I love potato salad in all it’s varieties. There is something a bit special about a duck fat roasted potato salad that pushes it to above the ordinary though, don’t you think? Just yummy. Of course after roasted potatoes sit in a vinegery salad dressing for too long you might as well have just steamed them as well, so be conscious of this when you dress the salad and do it just prior to serving!

This salad suits all the menus that a very normal but average potato salad suits (though I know nothing about average...and hopefully neither do you!) Bon Appe-BBQ.

More

Unfortunately this salad is only good immediately on completion because the roast potatoes will lose their crunchiness as they absorb the dressing quite quickly. You can however, assemble all the elements and then just toss together just before serving.
