When I’m craving something that bridges comfort and brightness, this sumac potato salad hits just right. The lemony tang from the sumac, the warm spices, and the tender potatoes remind me that simple recipes can still steal the show. We’re skipping mayo and going all in with olive oil, mustard, and herbs. It’s like a flavor vacation, minus the travel costs. What I really love is how it walks the line between a side dish and a scene-stealer. You’ve got earthy mushrooms, silky potatoes, and that signature sumac pop—it’s hearty, healthy, and totally picnic-approved. And yes, it’s plant-based, so it’s vegan-potluck ready. If you’re on the hunt for side dish recipes easy enough for Tuesday but bold enough for Saturday dinner parties, you’re looking at it. This one’s got your back—whether you’re diving into vegan potato recipes or you just need a new mushroom side dish to brag about. It checks every box on the healthy potato side dishes list and tastes way more indulgent than it actually is.
