Grilled Red Potato Caesar Salad With Pancetta Sp5 Food

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Place the red potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with cold water, covering the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, about 8 minutes, add the sweet potatoes. Return to boil and cook for 8 more minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, onion and garlic powders, cayenne and some salt and pepper. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, toss them in the mayonnaise mixture and stir gently to coat.
• Using tongs, place the potato pieces on the hot grill, and cook on all sides long enough to make grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Handle gently so they don't fall apart.
• In a large bowl, place the Bacon-Green Onion Vinaigrette. As the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the grill and place the hot potatoes in the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss the potatoes in the dressing to coat completely and serve, warm or cold.
• In a small saute pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Then set aside to cool. Once cooled, pour the bacon and fat into a small bowl along with the olive oil.
• In another small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil-bacon mixture, whisking to emulsify. Add the parsley, green onions and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk to blend.

GRILLED RED SKIN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. I used larger red skin potatoes and cut them in half during cooking. THEN CUT THEM IN QUARTERS BEFORE I PREPARED THEM. Scrub potatoes and add to pot, cover with water, and I added about 1 tablespoon Kosher salt to the water during cooking. Boil until almost tender. Drain water . cool slightly until cool enough to handle.
• 2. Add halves potatoes to a large bowl and add 1/4 cup olive oil and steak seasoning, and toss to coat. YOU CAN USE A GRILL TO GRILL POTATOES. I chose to grill inside and used my grill skillet, by adding olive oil and heating till very hot then grilled all of the potatoes cut side down.
• 3. Then remove and add to a large bowl or the pot they were originally boiled in.
• 4. If you are using bacon that you cook yourself, heat skillet till very hot, and fry bacon till crisp, remove and drain on paper towel, then crumble when cool enough to handle. I used Hormel Real Bacon Bits from Sam's Club.
• 5. Peel and slice red onions into thin slices and separate the rings.
• 6. I combined the vinegar, remaining olive oil and sugar mixture together in a small bowl to make it easier to add to the skillet.
• 7. Add about 2 TBS> Olive oil to skillet and heat, then add the thinly sliced red onions, the vinegar and sugar mixture in small bowl, heat through until the onions begin to turn colors slightly.

• 9. Then Spoon Onion Mixture over grilled Potatoes. Season with additional salt & pepper or Steak Seasoning if needed.
• 10. Just before you are ready to serve sprinkle the top with the cheese, serve and enjoy. The cover picture above is after my husband had eaten 2 servings BEFORE I COULD ADD THE CHEESE ON TOP. SORRY IT IS NOT A FULL PLATTER. It's a great recipe with or without the cheese.
