As much as I love a good potato salad, sometimes you gotta mix it up. Something tasy, something fresh, something easy. And there's nothing easier than a one pan meal right?? So here come's Southwest Roasted Potato Salad!
Easiest salad ever. No boiling, no mashing, nada. OH and healthy. Olive oil instead of mayo really helps with calorie count (if you're counting 🙂 ). Toss the veggies and olive oil together on a roasting pan, spread into a single layer and leave an empty space to put the corn on the cob. Aaaand roast. 30 minutes, remove the corn, another 30 minutes, top with fresh herbs and done. Like I said, Southwest Roasted Potato Salad = easiest salad ever.
Notice how all of that was done on one pan? Excellentmetoo. Massive one pan fan here! I'm certainly not going to say no to less clean up.
Oh and ps. Have Southwest Roasted Potato Salad leftovers? Perfect. Warm them up the next morning with some eggs, cheese, salsa and a tortilla to make a delicious breakfast burrito. Maybe throw some avocado in there too because yuuuummm ????????.

Description
Sheet pan roasted red potato salad with bell pepper, corn, fresh dill and spices drizzled with olive oil.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby red potatoes, halved
- 1 corn on the cob, husk on
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 orange bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced

Instructions

- Put the pan on a middle rack in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the corn on the cob and set aside. Put the pan back in the oven and cook for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- While vegetables continue to cook, remove the husk from the corn and slice off the kernels.

I loved those potatoes. They were delightful, and really kicked this dish up a notch.

This was an amazing summer side dish, served with a grilled flank steak. presentation is fabulous. This will be a staple side instead of the standard potato.
★★★★★
Nancy
Is this supposed to be served hot or cold?
Aberdeen
You can serve it either way!
Anu
Looks really really tasty. I'm a big fan of one pot/pan recipes too. All that washing up later gets so easy.
Katrina Weiss
This is so delicious! I made it with fresh corn, potatoes, and dill from a nearby produce auction and peppers (mostly green) from my garden. I love this salad, and will definitely make more often!

Karla
This is the second time I've this yummy salad and each time there is nothing left. One of the most requested dishes. And it's great to take to potlucks and parties. Thanks for sharing this delightfully yummy salad.

Hi Karla, any tips for making a large batch for a party?
Bernadette
Can you make this ahead of time? Is it served chilled or warm?
Aberdeen
It can be served either way; make ahead and chill or cook up right before and serve warm!
Abby
This looks delicious! Can't wait to try it
Thanks*

Put this on our menu for this week. Can't wait to try it! Although, now that we're heading into the winter months, if I can't find corn on the cob, what would you recommend I substitute it with? Frozen?
Aberdeen
That's great! No worries, frozen corn kernels would be a perfect substitute. Make sure to defrost them first and you'll be good to go.
Christine White
I'm doing low fat vegan eating and this recipe looks amazing. I think it would work without the oil, but I think I'd have to par boil the spuds then bake. I'll let you know if it turns out as good as yours looks LOL for those that don't cook with oil. thanks for sharing this recipe.

Yvonne
Does it say a tablespoon of salt? That seems like a lot
Aberdeen
Yup! 1 tablespoon coarse salt, I use kosher salt. If you think that's too much for you, go ahead and use less when you cook it up and then add some later to taste if you find it needs more.
Tisha Rawls
These were SO good!! What a hit at my house. I did the recipe just like it called for except I had chopped poblano and not bell. Next time I may even throw in some mushrooms! Thanks for sharing, it's a keeper!
Aberdeen
Thank you Tisha!
Alisa Ewert

Madeline
Do you have nutrition information for this?
Aberdeen
I don't sorry!
Gina F.
Wow! This was a really fine dish. I plan to take it to every upcoming event. My only adjustment was to add red onion. I had purchased husked corn so I added the corn after 30 minutes. This was a hit for my Memorial Day meal.

Joanne
This recipe sounds wonderful. I plan to make it tomorrow.

Lindsay
Hi there! Is "ancho chili pepper" a powder, flake, or an actual fresh pepper? Thank you! Making this tonight!
Aberdeen
Hi Lindsay!
It's ancho chili pepper powder, which can also be easily subbed with regular red chili powder if it ends up being hard to find :-).
Lindsay
This turned out AMAZING. Thank you so much! I added the juice of one fresh lime just because I love it.
Bryn
Do you generally serve hot or cold? I know you said either will work...but ...
Aberdeen
I've served it both ways 🙂 it's up to your personal preference.

This is an awesome double duty recipe! I sauted it in a cast iron skillet the next day. I had made a double batch for a potluck but ended up with quite a bit left over. I'm not a cold potato fan so I was looking for a way to use the leftovers. Sauteing it brought out the spicy aspect of the dish and was great with an egg.

Hi Lester! I'm SO sorry I didn't get back you last week, holidays are so crazy busy! For future reference, this salad is indeed gluten-free, vegetarian, AND vegan :-). I hope you enjoyed it!
See Quinn
So easy to make and so delicious. Love that the potatoes and veggies are cooked together instead of separately.
Barbara Alfeo
I absolutely love your recipe! I am writing vegetarian recipe round ups on my blog in 2018 (to encourage people to try meatless monday- everyone has to start somewhere) and would love to feature you. You can check out my blog (for beginner environmentalists) at sunshineguerrilla.com. Is it alright if I share this link to your recipe?
Aberdeen
So glad you liked it! Absolutely, thank you for asking 🙂

So delicious. I used the baby potato medley for more color. This was a hit all summer and requested at every BBQ.
★★★★★
Aberdeen
So glad it was a hit! Great idea about using the potato medley for more color 👍🏻.
Crissy
Yum! This was a great side dish, we loved it. I would add more spice next time, it didn't really come through for me. I only added about 2 tsp of salt and it was still way too much. For me, 1 tsp would be perfect for next time. Looked so pretty on the plate. Will definitely make again! Thanks!

You're so welcome! Definitely adjust the recipe to your personal tastes, so glad you enjoyed it :-).

This is always a crowd favorite. I made it last night for a potluck BBQ. Everyone loved it!
Regina
Made this using a defrosted ear of corn since we are in late fall here & followed another poster's suggestion of adding the cob after the initial 30 mins & it came out perfectly. I used regular Chili powder that I had on hand. My husband & I loved this recipe! The potatoes were perfect. I told my husband that it was a deconstructed Western Omelet & he agreed. Would be lovely w/scrambled tofu or eggs as suggested. Hard to keep our hands off of the baking sheet as the dish was cooling, so delicious! Will definitely make again & love the suggestions of tomatoes/salsa & avocados. Thinking of bringing it to my office pot luck in 2 wks! Great recipe, thanks for sharing! Found this thru "Yup It's Vegan!" one pot recipes search.

This looks amazing! I’m making it tonight and if it’s a hit (which it sounds like it will be) I’m making it again on Mothers Day. Thanks for sharing!
Aberdeen
You're so welcome!
Patricia Meta
Hi any suggestions if you wish to substitute dill? Thanks looks yummy and can't wait to make it.
Dayna
So this is called, roasted potato salad, but you don't actually roast it-you bake it in the oven, correct??
Thanks
Karen
This was a huge hit at our BBQ, thanks for the simple and deleesh recipe! I was worried there wouldn't be enough seasoning but it was perfect although I cut back a little on the kosher salt. We cooked 2 ears of corn on the grill (husks on) instead of roasting with veggies in the oven and it was just the right amount. Definitely will be making this again.

I’m not usually a fan of bell peppers, but the pictures of this dish looked so good I decided to try it anyway. I’m so glad I did! It’s delicious!
★★★★★
Rachelle
This dish was delicious! The only change I'd make would be to put the peppers in the oven for only 30 minutes instead of a full hour because they got a little burnt, but that could just be because of my oven. Other than that, my husband and I both loved it!
