- Preheat oven to 220C (200C fan forced).
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and place kumara on prepared tray and drizzle with half the oil and bake for 20 minutes or until tender.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes. Waxy potatoes will hold their shape better, while starchy potatoes will give the salad a creamier texture.
- If you are using a potato that has a lot of starch, such as a russet potato, you may want to parboil them before roasting. This will help to remove some of the starch and prevent the potatoes from becoming too gummy.
- To make the salad ahead of time, cook the potatoes and kumara up to three days in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you are ready to serve, simply toss the potatoes and kumara with the dressing and other ingredients.
- This salad is also a great way to use up leftover roasted potatoes and kumara. Simply toss them with the dressing and other ingredients and serve.
- If you are short on time, you can use pre-cooked potatoes and kumara. Just be sure to roast them for a few minutes to warm them through and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
Conclusion:
This potato and kumara salad is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of roasted potatoes and kumara, fresh vegetables, and a tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
