When I first saw this, I liked the sounds of the roasted potato flavors, and the sound of the dressing flavors... but I disliked too many of the main ingredients. i.e. don't like olives, artichoke hearts and peppers only done certain ways (and not like this). So... I decided to try it as just a roasted potato salad with the rest of the ingredients. Normally I would NEVER review a recipe I had changed so drastically cause I don't think that's fair. But, the things I disliked had nothing to do with what I changed, so I'm rating it anyway. I'm a cheese lover but discovered I don't care for Gorgonzola! It was suggested I try Havarti, and I also found a "Mediterranean" gouda (had tiny bits of olive, dried tomato and herbs in it). I used both and I will say they both worked well with these flavors. I figured I used about 3/4 the "bulk" of the salad, so scaled the dressing to 3/4. I liked the dressing. Now, I liked the potatoes when they came out of the oven, and really, I could see making just that part for a side dish. What I really disliked was the roasted potatoes in a salad like this - i.e. potatoes alone good, dressing good, but roasted potatoes IN the salad, no. Just didn't seem to "match." I would like to try just cooked potatoes like a normal potato salad, or possibly adding the roasting ingredients to the dressing sans the extra oil. But definitely an interesting recipe.

Sorry, I just can't recommend this recipe as it stands. I made it EXACTLY to specifications and found that it first of all looked unappetizing -- a sickly mushy brown color all over (thanks to the balsamic). Second of all, it was much too tangy (again, the vinegar). Finally, the garlic really came on strong in the dish. Otherwise, it is a clever mixture of tastes and colors and I thought it was an inspired idea. I tried the mixture without the dressing before I added it and found it to be quite tasty, with several colorful elements. My recommendation is to either: 1) remove the dressing altogether, especially if serving to guests that don't like powerful dishes; or 2) cut the vinegar and garlic by half and/or substitute a quality white wine vinegar. This way, the natural tastes and colors of the dish aren't overwhelmed by the balsamic vinegar.

This was amazing!! I didn't have any dried herbs,and I chose to leave out the Gorgonzola. It is delicious, and I will definitely make it again!

I loved this potato salad! I served it today to my crew with a few minor modifications - I used Spicy Brown mustard instead of Dijon because that is what I had on hand. I also used Garlic Pepper instead of regular pepper. My grocer didn't have any Gorgonzola cheese so I used Asiago. I omitted the olives because I'm not a huge fan, and the taste came out great! Everyone loved it....will definitely make again. It came out beautiful with all of the different colors - someone even made a comment that it looked like a salad from a magazine. Thanks for the recipe!

This is by far the best potato salad I have ever had! My guests raved about it and ate far more of it than I would have imagined. I will say that it is a little bit on the unattractive side if you just throw it in a bowl, but I couldn't care less, given the incredible flavor. To pretty it up, I placed it on lettuce leaves. I would highly recommend this one.

This was off the hook delicious! I used 3 lbs. of baby reds cut into quarters and roasted (used olive oil instead of canola). I also used sliced balck olives instead of kalamata, marinated artichoke hearts (which I think have wonderful flavor in the marinade) instead of canned and I also used fresh basil in the dressing instead of dried ....Wonderful flavors and the dressing was great on this salad. My company loved it. I really liked the roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts with the potatoes.....really tasty. A nice change of pace from the traditional mayo salads. A keeper. Thanks!
