Grilled Baby Potatoes With Dijon Mustard Thyme Food

GRILLED POTATOES WITH MUSTARD-GARLIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot of generously salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and garlic in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified.
• Heat the grill to high. Toss the potatoes with a little canola oil, and season with salt and pepper. Put the potatoes in a grill basket and grill, shaking the basket occasionally and turning the potatoes as needed, until charred in spots and just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Put the potatoes in a serving bowl and toss with the dressing while still hot. Add the parsley and toss again. Serve.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a grill using the snake method or for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, stack the unlit charcoals around the perimeter of the grill, about halfway, then light the first few at one end so the snake begins to burn slowly. (This results in a controlled 325 to 350 degrees F heat.) If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Lay out 2 sheets of aluminum foil in a cross and place the potatoes in the middle. Gather up the sides to create a foil packet, add 2 tablespoons of water and seal the foil packet.
• Place the foil packet over direct heat and steam until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Open the foil packet and continue to cook until the potatoes take on some smoke and dry out, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the peanuts, remaining 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, cilantro, mustard, celery seeds and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes from the grill, add to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 375 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.)

DIJON ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan.
• Stir olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; add potatoes and toss to coat. Transfer potatoes to prepared roasting pan.
• Roast in preheated oven, turning occasionally, until tender in the middle, 40 to 45 minutes.

SPICY ROASTED POTATOES WITH DIJON MUSTARD, ROSEMARY AND SMOKED PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, olive oil, vodka, vermouth, horseradish, garlic, paprika, rosemary, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, cayenne and pepper flakes. Add the potatoes, and toss with your hands to coat. Dump the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread them out in a single layer. Roast, tossing with a spatula a few times, until the potatoes are crusty on the outside and tender throughout, 50 to 55 minutes.

GRILLED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes by 1 inch in cold water in a 4-quart pot, then add 1 tablespoon kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Drain potatoes in a colander and transfer to a large shallow pan to cool quickly.
• If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
• Meanwhile, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining teaspoon kosher salt, then push 2 or 3 potatoes onto each rosemary stem.
• Grill potato skewers directly over coals, turning over occasionally with tongs, until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes total.
• Transfer potatoes to a platter and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
