If you’ve known me for long, you know how much I love sharing awesome recipes that come together with a minimum of fuss.
This Garlic Potato Salad is a great example of how simple fresh ingredients can be used to create a memorable meal with just a few minutes time spent in the kitchen.
Here in Phoenix, we’re well into the crazy heat of summer. And once it gets hot outside, there isn’t much I like more than foods that I can pull together early in the morning and either reheat or serve cold or at room temperature whenever we’re ready to eat later in the day.

Garlic Potato Salad
The Garlic Lover’s Potato Salad isn’t your typical mayonnaise potato salad. This potato salad is delicious served hot or at room temperature.
Garlic Potato Salad is a warm potato salad that starts with tiny baby potatoes that are roasted until crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. After roasting, the hot potatoes are coated with an abundance of garlicky oil and vinegar before being tossed with plenty of chives and parsley.
Have you tried a warm potato salad? If not, I recommend starting here. I just plain love this one. There’s no need to keep it cold if it’s left out on the counter for a few hours.

Warm Potato Salad
The first time I made this roasted garlic potato salad, I could not stop eating it straight out of the mixing bowl. The potatoes are completely irresistible covered in garlic and so much pepper.
They’re fantastic piping hot from the oven (just try not to burn your mouth!) and they’re every bit as tasty at room temperature. That makes this a heck of a “keeper” recipe for barbecues, picnics, and potlucks all summer long.
I loved these potatoes so much that I came up with a quick and easy way to transform this amazing side dish into a quick and easy dinner for the family. (Scroll down for that variation!)
There are plenty of potato salads that are served warm. I believe the original warm potato salad recipe was a German dish.
If you want to try another warm potato salad, put the Honey Dijon Roasted Potato Salad next on your list. To make it, hot roasted potatoes, fresh tomatoes, and green onions are tossed in a honey dijon vinaigrette. It’s another deliciously unique potato salad that my whole family enjoys.

Potatoes and Kielbasa
Saute some kielbasa just long enough to crisp the edges and lightly brown the sausage while the potatoes are roasting. After the potatoes have been tossed with the garlicky dressing, add the hot sausage and serve hot or at room temperature.
Because both versions of this recipe serve nicely at room temperature, making kielbasa and potatoes an excellent make-ahead meal in the hot summer months.
I served this potato salad with lemon and herb grilled chicken the first time I made it and my family loved the whole meal.
