This Crispy Potato Caesar Salad takes your classic Caesar to the next level with golden, crispy potatoes instead of croutons! The secret? Boiling the potatoes with baking soda before roasting for the perfect crunch. Tossed with romaine, arugula, and a lighter Greek yogurt Caesar dressing, this salad is both satisfying and refreshing!

Ingredients

Scale

  1. Crispy Potatoes:

    • 1.5 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ¾-inch pieces

    • 1 tbsp kosher salt, plus more as needed

    • ½ tsp baking soda

    • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided

    • Freshly ground black pepper

    Lighter Caesar Dressing:

    • ¼ cup Greek-style yogurt

    • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

    • 2 oil-packed anchovy filets, minced

    • 1 garlic clove, minced

    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

    Salad:

    • 1 large heart romaine lettuce, roughly chopped

    • 2 cups arugula

    • ¼ cup grated parmesan (or 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option)

    • Flaky sea salt (for serving)

Instructions

  • Roast the Crispy Potatoes:

    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (convection/fan preferred). (See notes for air fryer instructions.)

    • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes, baking soda, and 1 tbsp kosher salt.

    • Boil for 12-15 minutes, or until very soft.

    • Drain the potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

    • Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.

  • Make the Caesar Dressing:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

  • Assemble the Salad:

    • Add the romaine, arugula, and parmesan to the bowl with the dressing. Toss until evenly coated.

 

  • Serve & Enjoy:

    • Top with crispy potatoes and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Air Fryer Instructions: For a quicker method, air fry the potatoes at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through for even crispness.

 

  • You can substitute the parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
