This Parmesan Potato Salad offers a fresh twist on a classic favorite, combining tender red potatoes with green beans, marinated artichokes, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy herb dressing! The flavors are savory, bright, and layered, with just enough richness from the Parmesan and finely ground hazelnuts to make the salad feel a little special. It's an excellent make-ahead dish for picnics, luncheons, holiday meals, and family gatherings.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

I always think this salad looks a little nicer than most potato salads, especially once the Parmesan and parsley go over the top. It tastes best after it has had time to sit in the refrigerator for a while because all the flavors seem to find each other. If I know company is coming, this is one I like to make ahead so it's already finished and waiting for me.
