Roasted Red Potato Salad

2 pounds medium-small red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, the garlic powder, and the Italian seasoning. Refrigerate while you make the sauce.

    Step 3

    Combine the onion, green onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive and sesame oils, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

    Step 4

    Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.

    Step 5

    Whisk the mustard, brown sugar, sesame seeds, and ginger together in a medium bowl. Stir in the warm vegetables and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before using. Set half the sauce aside for serving.

    Step 6

    Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken pieces, flipping them once, until nicely marked, about 5 minutes per side.

    Step 7

    Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet, baste well with half of the sauce, and bake, basting frequently, until a meat thermometer inserted into the meat reads 165°F, about 15 minutes. Serve with the reserved sauce and the potato salad.

  2. Roasted Red Potato Salad

    Step 8

    Preheat the oven to 375°F.

    Step 9

    Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, the cayenne pepper, and the garlic powder. Roast until tender, about 35 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

    Step 10

    Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, and 3 of the chopped eggs in a large bowl. Toss the potatoes with the dressing. Garnish with the remaining chopped egg, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for good measure.
