SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was pretty good, but next time I won't roast the potatoes I'll just boil them; it took much longer and was more involved and after the dressing went on their roasted crispiness went away. I also added less than half of the vinegar the recipe calls for. 1/2 cup is a LOT of sour for my preference.
I really like this. It's a nice variation on traditional "mayo-based" potato salad. I thought roasting the leeks gave an especially nice flavor. I will definitely make this again.
Sorry - that is supposed to say 1/2 cup of White Wine Vinegar.
