GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound bacon (about 8 strips)
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/2 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound mini Yukon gold potatoes, halved
5 scallions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat leaf parsley
Flaky sea salt

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 FINGERLING-POTATO SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE BACON VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Fingerling-Potato Salad With Chipotle Bacon Vinaigrette image

A vinegary potato salad with bacon is one of the great Germanish summertime traditions. Here I've added a Mexican accent in the form of the canned, smoked jalapeño known as chipotle chile en adobo. (A small can, well covered, will keep for months in the refrigerator.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     easy, salads and dressings

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 to 14 small fingerling potatoes
4 slices bacon
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced in rounds
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon rendered bacon fat
4 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 chipotle chile en adobo, or to taste, mashed and minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well when grilled and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are almost tender: This will help them cook evenly on the grill and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Toss the potatoes in olive oil and seasonings before grilling: This will help them brown and develop a nice flavor.
  • Grill the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Make the vinaigrette while the potatoes are grilling: This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Toss the potatoes with the vinaigrette while they are still warm: This will help the dressing soak into the potatoes and give them even more flavor.
  • Garnish the potato salad with scallions and bacon: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Grilled potato salad with bacon scallion vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of grilled potatoes, bacon, scallions, and vinaigrette is simply irresistible. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
