This vibrant twist on potato salad swaps boiled spuds for crispy roasted ones, offering a delightful textural contrast. The dressing combines fiery harissa paste with the tangy complexity of preserved lemons for a bold North African flavor profile.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ground cumin, and salt until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
While the potatoes roast, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, harissa paste, chopped preserved lemon rind, and fresh lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Add the thinly sliced red onion to the dressing mixture to let them slightly pickle and soften.
Once the potatoes are done, immediately transfer them to the bowl with the dressing and toss well to absorb the flavors while hot.
Let the salad cool for about 10 minutes, then fold in the fresh cilantro and parsley before serving warm or at room temperature.
