Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
2 tablespoons kosher salt
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch of kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add the salt. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.
  • Fry the bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, chop into 1-inch pieces and reserve.
  • For the quick-pickled onion: Combine the red wine vinegar, honey, chile flakes and dill in a small bowl and whisk until the honey is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup water and the sliced onions. Toss well to combine and submerge the onions. Set aside or transfer to a container with an airtight lid. The quick-pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, mustard, apple cider vinegar, pepper, Worcestershire and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Pour the dressing onto the potatoes, add a third of the pickled onions, two-thirds of the chopped bacon and half the chopped parsley and toss. To serve, garnish with the remaining parsley, bacon and pickled red onions.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup toasted peanuts
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

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.)

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup KC-Style Chipotle BBQ Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought chipotle BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon juice from a jar of pickled jalapenos (see Cook's Note)
1/2 pound cooked and crumbled bacon
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup sliced green onions (set a few aside for garnishing the top)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup pureed chipotle peppers in adobo
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F using indirect heat. Oil the grill grates.
  • Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks and add to a bowl with the olive oil, garlic salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place the potatoes directly on the oiled cooking grates (if needed, use a grill basket so the potatoes don't fall through). Cook, turning as needed, until done, about 30 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, KC-Style Chipotle BBQ Sauce and jalapeno juice. Gently fold in the warm potatoes, bacon, celery and green onions. Garnish with a couple slices of green onion on top and serve immediately.
  • Mix together the ketchup, sugar, chipotle, Worcestershire, molasses, vinegar, ancho powder, salt, pepper, cocoa, liquid smoke, oregano, thyme and mustard powder in a saucepan and gently warm over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
  • The sauce can be used immediately. The flavors will continue to meld if allowed to rest in the refrigerator overnight.

  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming too watery.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Grilled barbecue potato salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled meats and vegetables. You can also add hard-boiled eggs, cheese, or nuts.
  • Dress the salad to taste: Start with a simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing and then add additional ingredients, such as mustard, ketchup, or relish, to taste.
