Roasted Creamy Potato and Onion Salad

This just might become your favorite potato salad, it has been a long-time family favorite! Plan ahead the potato salad needs to chill for about 2 hours or more before serving to blend flavors. Fresh garlic can most certainly be used in place of garlic powder but the fresh garlic tends to burn when baked in the oven and produces a strong flavor, I most always use the garlic powder.
