Roasted Potato Salad
I’ve seen more than my fair share of back to school commercials. A few weeks ago I was thinking they were on too early in the year. Now, I’m faced with the reality that summer is wrapping up in a few short days. Most years, I’m clinging to every last second of summer. This year, I think I’m ready for fall. I’m ready for cooler temperatures and the changing of the season. Apple and pumpkin picking. Jeans and sweatshirts. Some of my favorite things happen in the fall and I’m ready to soak it all in this year.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
This has been a great hit this winter in “ski country” –easy to make with (pretty) easy ingredients to have on hand (once you buy the bag of sliced almonds, frozen cranberries, and almond extract!)
First time I made it as written. Delicious but very strong almond flavor. Second time I reduced the 1/2 c sugar on the cranberries to 1/4 cup, sub’d fine cornmeal for 1/2 the flour and reduced the almond extract by half. Pretty tart but almost all my friends liked it better (and if you want it sweeter you can add the whipped cream or ice cream…) and it is a nice counterpoint on a dessert buffet of sweeter brownies and cookies.
Thanks for the recipe! Hope you are doing well in Ohio.

So glad you’ve enjoyed this. I loved how simple it was to make! Almond extract definitely has a strong flavor, so I can see cutting it down for sure! Ohio is treating us well so far.
