Garlic and Thyme Potato Salad with Leeks recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

Despite the fact that it is mid-January, I was craving potato salad late last night. Luckily, I had roasted breakfast potatoes sitting in the refrigerator next to some hard-boiled eggs waiting for snacking.

I also had some fresh leeks and herbs from the farmer’s market and a jar of garlic infused vinegar that I’d been wanting to try in a salad dressing. With everything right there at my fingertips, this salad took just a few minutes to put together.

Sometimes it pays to keep those potatoes and eggs ready to go.

I really liked the mild onion-y crunch of the leeks, along with the loaded garlic flavor. I ate some of this salad with crackers as a late night snack and then served it with roasted chicken for the next day’s lunch.

I’m looking forward to making this again, although next time I will be making a double batch.

    This past year I saw an episode of Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network and she was roasting her potatoes for potato salad. I tried it and so loved the way it turned out that now I always use roasted potatoes. So this looks like a recipe that we will love! Thanks.

    I get those strange summer picnic kinds of cravings right about now too. Actually, it's warm enough here today to actually have a picnic! I've never thought to use roasted potatoes in a salad, and I love the leeks and olives, it sounds like it has a lot more flavor than my regular go-to version.

    Great, I'm not the only one that gets freakish cravings for potato salad in the heart of winter! I like the dressing for this, nice touch.
