This is another salad that gets better as it sits. Perfect for a bbq, picnic or beach day. The addition of smoked paprika makes it a great pairing with grilled chicken, tri tip or cedar plank salmon. If you can’t find new potatoes, go ahead and substitute with cubed yukon gold potatoes.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

24oz (1.5 lbs) new potatoes, quartered

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Microgreens, optional garnish

Directions:

1.) Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
