Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a large sheet pan, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat, then spread in an even layer and roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 2
In a medium bowl, toss asparagus and leek slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the paprika. Take the potatoes out of the oven and give them a stir. Spread the vegetables evenly on top of the potatoes. Cook until the vegetables are tender and browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Step 3
While the vegetables are roasting, make the dressing: Combine the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard, honey and mint in a bowl, then whisk to combine.
- Step 4
When the vegetables are done, spoon the dressing over everything and let sit for about 5 minutes. Serve with hard-boiled eggs, if desired, and sprinkle with mint.

I wonder why the recipe calls for putting the potatoes in the sheet pan and THEN mixing them up with the oil! MUCH easier and more effective to put the potatoes in a bowl, add the oil, toss to coat evenly and then spread on the sheet pan. And the recipe calls for a bowl in the next step. Surely one can use the same bowl for both.
This was easy and delicious! I followed the recipe as written, except for the fact that I doubled the potatoes because I had a 3# bag of Yukon Golds and a hungry crew to feed (so I also doubled the dressing); I also added a can of chickpeas (rinsed & drained) to the bowl with the asparagus and leeks, because who doesn't love crispy chickpeas? I let it all roast for an extra 10 minutes because we like our roasted asparagus well done. The mint was a welcome flavor addition to the yummy dressing.
It may not be German potato salad, but after 6 years in Berlin, I can attest this is a very German-inspired, hearty but fresh spring dish. New potatoes, asparagus, leeks and mint are German obsessions in the spring. Next time I’ll cut the honey and not use balsamic, made the dressing too thick and sweet.
Very easy and lots of ways to modify. I could not bring myself to add the mint... I'll have to set aside a serving and try it.
This was easy and delicious! Made it exactly as written, without the egg. Family gave two thumbs up.
Fearless substitutions: Brussel sprout for asparagus and onion for the leeks I didn’t have I’ve made this several times as I love it but have yet to add eggs.
