I wasn’t quite sure how to name this salad because it is a hybrid between a potato salad and a greens based salad. Whatever you want to call it, this roasted potato salad with wilted arugula is so delicious! Roasted potatoes get seasoned with a bit of rosemary, garlic, and smoked paprika and then tossed with arugula, and parmesan crisps. Drizzled over top is a simple lemony dressing that brings is all together. I’m drooling just thinking about it!
How to Make the Parmesan Crisps
The parmesan crisps were inspired by a salad I had at a local restaurant that I couldn’t wait to recreate for salads at home. They are like cheesy little croutons! Just make sure to look for a parmesan that is vegetarian as most use animal rennet. I was able to find a great one at Trader Joe’s which I used in this recipe.
To make the crisps, you’ll add about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded parmesan onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Leave space between the spoonfuls of cheese since they spread a little as they bake. Bake until the cheese has melted and started to turn golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for several minutes until they have crisped up. So simple and such a fun addition to this salad!
