Roasted Garlic and Smoked Paprika Potato Salad

Submitted by Tinkerbell

"This recipe was inspired by and created with the secret ingredients for the RSC #15 contest. Qualifying ingredients were roasted garlic, smoked paprika, spicy brown mustard, thyme and eggs. My family absolutely loved it and were actually horrified to find that I didn't submit this one. :) For roasting garlic please see my Recipe #412117. This is also great with some cooked and crumbled bacon added in."

A really different and delicious potato salad! I omitted the bacon, and it couldn't have been better. Nice way with leftover roasted potatoes.

I made two subtle changes when making this recipe ~ I DIDN'T peel the potatoes (& I steamed them), & I cut back on the mayo just a little! Other than that, it was followed right on down, & we thoroughly enjoyed your potato salad, & I will be making it again, for sure! Another time I might take your suggestion & add some bacon (We like Hormel's real bacon pieces, so . . .) ~ I'll see! Thanks for sharing your great recipe, Tink! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook Tag]
