Crispy Carrot Potato Salad Recipe – Easy and Flavorful Side Dish.

🥔 Surprise #1: Air-Fried Seasoned Potatoes

Instead of boiling the potatoes like in traditional potato salad, this recipe seasons and air-fries them until golden and crispy. This adds a roasted, rich flavor and a slightly crispy texture that sets this salad apart.

Seasoning includes:

Paprika

Salt

Olive oil (plenty!)

🥕 Surprise #2: Fresh Carrot and Herb Mix
Grated carrot and chopped chives bring a fresh crunch and bright color to the salad. This isn’t just creamy—it’s fresh and lively, too.

🌶️ Surprise #3: Bold Seasoning in the Dressing
The dressing is robust, with:

Ground cumin for warmth

Red onion for bite

Mustard (a must-have!) for tang and depth

Mayonnaise and heavy cream for creamy texture

Black pepper and salt to bring everything together

The mustard especially gives the dish a tangy punch you wouldn’t expect in a typical potato salad.

🥓 Surprise #4: Bacon Crunch
Adding crispy fried bacon at the end gives the salad a smoky crunch and makes it nearly irresistible. It contrasts perfectly with the creamy dressing and soft potatoes.

🍽️ Final Surprise: The Flavor Fusion
This isn’t your average picnic potato salad. It’s:

Creamy and spicy

Crunchy and fresh

Smoky and savory

You’re getting a salad with layers of texture and flavor—crispy potatoes, tangy mustard, the warmth of cumin, freshness of herbs, and the final hit of salty bacon.
