Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Extra-virgin olive oil, for the potatoes
2 pounds baby Yukon potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced
Flakey salt, for serving
Chopped fresh dill, for serving
1 lemon, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • Place a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over direct heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil along with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and add the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add enough water to cover the potatoes halfway, close the grill and steam until the potatoes are cooked through and the water has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Lightly smash the potatoes with a potato masher and drizzle with more olive oil. Cook until the potatoes are crispy on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with flakey salt and dill and a squeeze of lemon.
  • (Alternatively, you can cook the potatoes over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 pound thick-cut bacon

Steps:

GRILLED GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Grilled German Potato Salad image

The usually undercooked potatoes and lack of mayo characteristic of German potato salad have usually hindered my appreciation for this dish. So in my version, the potatoes are grilled over some smoky coals until tender. Best enjoyed warm, or at least room temp, this is the perfect addition to a sunny picnic table.

Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     No Mayo

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
½ pound bacon, sliced
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup freshly chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add potatoes. Grill, flipping occasionally, until potatoes are barely just tender when poked with a skewer, about 15 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until grease becomes foamy, about 5 minutes. Remove half the bacon with a slotted spoon; reserve for the topping. Add onion to the rest of the bacon in the pan; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel potatoes. Cut into quarters, then into 1/2-inch slices. Place in a bowl.
  • Stir sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and vinegar in with the bacon. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir and remove dressing from heat.
  • Pour dressing over the potatoes; toss to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes. Mix again and add parsley. Top with reserved bacon. Enjoy warm.

Tips:

  • Use small red potatoes: Small red potatoes are the best choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well when grilled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they're just tender: Don't overcook the potatoes or they'll fall apart when you grill them.
  • Grill the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Brush the potatoes with melted butter: This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: This is all you need to bring out the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes warm or at room temperature: They're delicious either way.

Conclusion:

Grilled German potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The potatoes are grilled until they're tender and slightly charred, and then tossed with a simple vinaigrette dressing. The salad is finished with chopped red onion, parsley, and bacon. It's a flavorful and satisfying dish that's sure to please everyone at your table.
