Potato salad can be more than just the cool, mayo-coated concoction served at cookouts. This weeknight dinner version, inspired by baked German potato salads, includes crispy roasted potatoes, turnips, mushrooms, and garlic, with a seasoning of celery seeds and paprika. When done roasting they are tossed in a honey vinaigrette and served alongside chicken sausages topped with Dijon mustard and caramelized shallots. All this is cooked together on the same sheet-pan for a low-effort, high-reward meal.
