Description
A fresh and rustic potato salad made with grilled baby potatoes tossed in a bright scallion vinaigrette for a smoky, tangy, and refreshing side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 scallions, finely sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10–12 minutes until just tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
- Toss the cooked potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until lightly coated.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the potatoes cut-side down and grill for 5–7 minutes until grill marks appear and the edges are crisp and lightly golden.
- In a small bowl, prepare the scallion vinaigrette by whisking together the sliced scallions, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving bowl while still warm.
- Pour the scallion vinaigrette over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly chilled.
Notes
- Roast the potatoes at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes if you do not have a grill.
- Baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes work best because they hold their shape well.
- Add grilled corn, cherry tomatoes, or sliced radishes for extra color and texture.
- Fresh herbs like dill, basil, or chives can enhance the flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet with a small drizzle of olive oil or a splash of vinegar to refresh the flavor.
