Roasted Corn and Potato Salad
This potato salad is a departure from the traditional, creamy version. It has the perfect combination of textures. The sweetness of the roasted corn plays well with the salty, smokiness of the bacon… and a fantastic dressing ties the whole thing together. Also: it's great served warm OR cold!
