Roasted Caesar Potato Salad

RECIPE BY GINA FROM HEALTHY LITTLE VITTLES

We love all things potatoes. But potato salad and caesar dressing? Who knew that this combination would be so good?! 

INGREDIENTS

• POTATO SALAD
• 2-3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 3/4-1 cup Vegan Caesar Dressing
• VEGAN CAESAR DRESSING
• 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons capers
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cubed potatoes to baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt + black pepper. Toss everything to coat potatoes. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are golden and tender once tested with a knife.
2. Make the vegan caesar dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a blender, preferably a small blender and blend until smooth. You could alternatively use a bowl and immersion blender. Add water to thin if desired and more salt & pepper to taste.
3. Remove potatoes from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, add the chopped celery, dried dill, and 3/4 cup to 1 cup of the caesar dressing. Toss to coat and serve either warm or chilled. If you're serving this potato salad chilled, I would add more dressing. You can make this ahead of time, just store in an airtight container and toss with more dressing before serving. Keep leftover dressing stored in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week.
