Grilled Potato Salad With Bacon Scallion Vinaigrette Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and cook on high for 5 to 7 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add cooked potatoes and toss to combine. Serve warm.
• NOTE: If not planning to serve immediately, refrigerate and chill thoroughly (can be served cold).

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Place potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Combine until well coated.
• Put the potatoes directly on the grill and close grill top. Turn potatoes onto the other side after 3 to 5 minutes. When ready, place back into the bowl and add the onions and bacon. Drizzle potatoes with dressing, toss and serve garnished with chives.
• Whisk ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

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.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside. When cool, transfer to a large bowl and combine with black beans.
• In a blender combine the scallions, sour cream and lemon juice. Pulse a few times to mix, then puree until smooth. Add salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Blend just to combine. Garnish with chopped chives.
• Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, then toss until potatoes and beans are well coated.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water and a tablespoon of salt, then set over high heat until it comes to a boil. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain potatoes, place on a baking sheet and allow to cool slightly, then halve the potatoes lengthwise. (You can do this the day before.)
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp. Reserve bacon and, in a small bowl, 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.
• Light a fire in a fire pit with a grill, or in a charcoal grill, or set a gas grill to high. If you have a strong vent in your kitchen, you may use your stove with a burner set to high. Place a large cast-iron grill pan over the heat and allow it to get hot. You can let the fire die slightly. If using a gas grill or stove, turn heat to medium.
• Put the potatoes and the sliced onions in a large bowl and toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Working in batches, grill the potatoes cut-side down on the grill until they have developed a light char, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the onions until they are charred, approximately 4 to 6 minutes a side. Return potatoes and onions to bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the remaining olive oil, bacon fat, red-wine vinegar and chipotle in a small bowl and whisk to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the dressing to the potato-and-onion mixture and toss gently to combine. Let sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the potatoes. Crumble bacon over the top.
