This Horseradish Potato Salad is a vintage potato salad recipe. Potatoes are tossed with a buttery lemon-horseradish dressing, then roasted until piping hot and fork tender. Finished with freshly chopped parsley for an easy side dish for any gathering.
Potatoes always make an appearance at family gatherings.
Perhaps it’s because they are relatively inexpensive and easy to make for a large crowd.
In fact, according to The Independent, “The potato produces more nutritious food more quickly, on less land, and in harsher climates than any other major crop.” So the potato really has a lot to offer for sustainability.
This recipe started with a vintage Land O’Lakes recipe and developed into a family holiday favorite for the Warker family in Philadelphia.
