Grilled Potato Salad With Grilled Scallion Vinaigrette Food

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Put the red potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, after about 10 minutes, add the sweet potatoes. Return to a boil and cook 10 more minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, gently toss them in the mayonnaise mixture to coat.
• Make the vinaigrette: Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, then set aside to cool in the skillet. Once cool, pour the bacon and drippings into a small bowl along with the olive oil. In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar and mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil-bacon mixture, whisking to emulsify. Add the scallions, parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste and whisk to blend.
• Using tongs, place the potato pieces on the hot grill and cook on all sides long enough to cook through and make grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Handle the potatoes gently so they don't fall apart. Remove the potatoes from the grill and place in the bowl with the vinaigrette. Gently toss to coat completely and serve warm or cold.

GRILLED SCALLION POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Brush 1 thickly sliced onion and 1 bunch scallions with vegetable oil and season with salt. Grill over medium-high heat, covered, until tender, 2 minutes for the scallions and 10 minutes for the onion; chop. Boil 1 1/2 pounds halved small red-skinned potatoes until tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain and let cool. Mix 1/3 cup sour cream and 3 tablespoons each buttermilk and horseradish in a bowl. Stir in the potatoes, onion and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the dressing: Put the bacon into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and line a plate with paper towels. Cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to the lined plate and transfer the bacon fat to a small mixing bowl. Add the mustard, sugar and vinegar to the warm fat and squeeze in the juice from the lemon half. Whisk to combine and season with black pepper. Set aside in a warm place.
• For the potatoes: Preheat the grill over medium heat.
• Place the potatoes in an even layer in a microwave-safe baking dish. Pour in 1/4 cup water and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Steam the potatoes in the microwave on high power until just slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the potatoes and discard any water that remains.
• Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl with the whole scallions. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to evenly coat in the oil.
• Place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side down. Grill the potatoes until tender and caramelized, 7 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, place the scallions on the coolest area of the grill and cook, watching them closely to prevent charring, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove the scallions from the grill and set aside. Remove the potatoes from the grill and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut the grilled scallions into 1-inch pieces and place in the bowl with the potatoes. Crumble the cooked bacon into the bowl. Add the parsley and some sea salt and drizzle generously with the warm bacon dressing, then toss to coat.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH GRILLED SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes: Fill a medium pot with room temperature water. Add a handful of salt to the water and then the potatoes. Bring the water to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat so that the water simmers. Cook until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 15 minutes (they'll finish cooking on the grill). Drain the potatoes, and when cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• Make the dressing: Toss the scallions with ½ tablespoon of the oil and season with a pinch of salt. Grill until just charred, turning once, about 2 minutes. Chop and transfer to a food processor and add the vinegar, miso, mustard, sriracha, and 3 tablespoons water. Pulse until combined. Add the cilantro and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and pulse again.
• Toss the potatoes generously with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill cut side down for 5 to 6 minutes or until char marks form. Flip, and cook 5 minutes more, until the potatoes are tender and well charred. The time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
• Place the blueberries in a piece of foil that's large enough to contain them on the grill. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and grill for 2 minutes or until they turn a darker blue color.
• Assemble the salad with the potatoes, generous dollops of the dressing, blueberries, mint, the chopped scallions, and more dollops of the dressing. Top with pickled onions, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Season generously with salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the cooled potatoes with the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, onion and red bell pepper. Place on the grill pan and cook until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a large bowl.
• Make the dressing by adding the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, parsley, dill, chives, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hot sauce and some salt and pepper to a mason jar. Secure the lid and shake until well combined.
• Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss to coat. Fold in the chopped bacon, sprinkle over the scallions and 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.)
