Serve up this Warm Antipasto Potato Salad recipe at your next barbecue or alongside a roast chicken for Sunday dinner. Thank you to The Little Potato Company for helping me share this recipe with you.
Sometimes my idea of an acceptable dinner doesn't jive with everyone else's. Me: Charcuterie board, lined with salami, prosciutto, cheese, olives and pickled veggies. Others: "Um, pretty sure this is called a snack."
Luckily, my family is willing to play along with the charcuterie board idea on occasion. But when guests are coming over for dinner, I've accepted the fact that I might need to play hostess rather than college-kid-pulling-random-stuff-out-of-the-fridge. That being said, there is no rule that says I can't incorporate all of my favorite charcuterie board ingredients into a fantastic antipasto potato salad.
Tomatoes, thinly sliced salami, diced provolone cheese, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and olives...yep, I went to town! Change up the meat (or leave it out altogether for a vegetarian version), add a variety of pickled vegetables or swap in your favorite cheese. The beauty of charcuterie boards is that they can be customized any way you desire.
That being said, there's one thing you can't change up or sacrifice in this antipasto potato salad.
You guessed it...the potatoes. By now, you guys have probably picked up that I'm a diehard fan of the Creamer potatoes from The Little Potato Company. Naturally sweet, packed with nutrients and the perfect size for popping in your mouth or cutting in half for bite-sized potato salad forkfuls.
With all of the flavors from the antipasto mix-ins, I opted for a very simple vinaigrette. Good extra virgin olive oil (don't skimp when it's in a dressing!), white wine vinegar, and a pinch of dried oregano and salt. If drizzled in when the potatoes are warm, the vinaigrette will soak into the potatoes, rather than just coating the exterior.
While fantastic served up at room temperature as a barbecue side dish, this antipasto potato salad is best served warm, which makes it a contender for Sunday dinner. Perfect alongside a roast chicken or roast beef!

I love their potatoes. I'm allergic to mayo so I dig this recipe. I only eat warm potato salad for some reason. This is sheer perfection. I'm a snack girl so I fully support your love of Charcuterie boards.
