Did you know you can roast a mayonnaise-based potato salad? It sounds crazy, but because the mayonnaise contains oil, it helps the potatoes crisp up when cooked. To make life a little easier, I’m using the air fryer to do all the work!

Ingredients

3 to 4 cups leftover potato salad, such as Valerie Bertinelli's Classic Potato Salad, recipe follows

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Valerie Bertinelli's Classic Potato Salad:

2 pounds petite Yukon gold potatoes

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sliced green onions

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 stalk celery, chopped

Directions

Special equipment:
an air fryer
  1. Transfer the potato salad to the basket of an air fryer and spread into an even layer. Set the air fryer for 350 degrees F and cook for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  2. Remove the potato salad from the air fryer and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Valerie Bertinelli's Classic Potato Salad:

  1. Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water. Generously season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool to room temperature. Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add the mayo, green onions, mustard, dill, garlic powder, onion powder and celery to a mixing bowl. Mix to combine. Add the potatoes and toss to completely coat in the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Serve room temperature or cold. The potato salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Do you think you can do almost the same thing if you bake this in the oven? I don't have an air fryer.
