BBQ chicken and Potato salad just plain go together.
I made this today and it is best tator salad I've ever made. Little labor intensive but, anything good takes time and effort.
Roasted Potato Salad.
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients
* 2 pounds new (baby red) potatoes, quartered
* 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
* Salt
* Freshly ground black pepper
* 1 egg*
* Juice of three lemons
* 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
* 1 tablespoon Creole Mustard
* 1/2 cup chopped green onions
* 1/2 pound bacon, chopped and browned until crispy
* 1 cup chopped red onions
* 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley leaves
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill

While tators cooking.
Making the dressing,
In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, add the egg, juice from one lemon, mustard, garlic, and green onions. Puree until smooth. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. With the machine running, slowly add the remaining olive oil until all of the oil is used and the mixture is thick. Reseason the dressing with salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the bacon, red onions, sliced eggs, parsley and dill. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in the dressing and the remaining lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
