The Secret Ingredient for Extra Crispiness? Ghee!
Traditional potato salads might skip the roasting, but that’s where the magic happens in this recipe. By roasting baby potatoes in OMGhee, you get a wonderfully crispy, golden edge on every potato, thanks to ghee’s high smoke point. It makes an excellent roasting medium that gives you all the deliciousness of a fried potato without the mess. Plus, ghee’s rich, buttery flavor perfectly complements the fresh herbs and creamy dressing, adding an extra layer of depth you won’t get from ordinary oil.
