Creamy Lemon-Dill Roasted Potato Salad

This may very well turn out to be the summer of potatoes and mushrooms. While not everyone likes the mayo-heavy potato salads, everyone seems to like the non-mayo salads from this summer so far.

Rob said this was his favourite potato salad yet.

His Polish roots may be particularly partial to fresh dill.

The dressing is a creamy, but not heavy, lemon-tahini sauce with a touch of mustard which I tossed with salt-and-pepper roasted potatoes and fresh dill. The recipe makes a lot of dressing, which was great throughout the week to dress up some of the leftover grilled vegetables. The dressing was also great when I added in some extra chickpeas.

Creamy Lemon-Dill Roasted Potato Salad
Adapted from Joyous Health via Steven and Chris

2 lbs small potatoes, halved, soaked in water, drained and patted dry
1-2 tbsp melted coconut oil
salt and pepper, to taste (I used lemon pepper seasoning)

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1/4 cup lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 tsp salt

1. To make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375F. Line 1-2 rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a reusable silicone baking mat. Add oil to a large bowl and dried potato chunks. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stirring to evenly coat. Place potatoes over 1-2 large baking sheet, taking care not to overcrowd and keep in a single layer. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

2. Meanwhile chop your dill and place in a large container.

3. Make your dressing by combining the lemon juice, oil, water, tahini, mustard, garlic and salt in a small bowl/mug. Whisk/shake until smooth.

4. To make your salad, combine the dill with the cooked potatoes and douse with about half of the dressing. Add more later if you wish.

I served this warm but leftovers were delicious cold as well.

Serves 6, with dressing to spare.
