Grilled Potato Salad

This recipe was in the American Profile in our local paper - probably in yours too...

The pretty antique dish was made by the Man's Great-Aunt Emma - many many years ago - she signed the back.

We followed the recipe exactly except we used veganaise instead of mayonnaise and we didn't add any lemon zest (we just don't like it).

Grilled New Potatoes with Lemon-Garlic Aioli and Chives

3 lbs small new potatoes unpeeled
1/4 cup veganaise
6 glaiv cloves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

1. Boil potatoes in salted water until just thoroughly cooked, but not completely soft - 10-15 minutes - drain potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle.
2. Combine veganaise, garlic, lemon juice, lemon rind, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender; blend until smooth.
3. Heat grill to high.
4. Cut potatoes in half, brush the cut sides with oil, and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill potatoes cut side down until golden brown and just thoroughly cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Place potatoes on a platter, drizzle with the veganaise mixture, and sprinkle with chives. Serve warm. Serves 6.

This was so good! We'll definitely be making this recipe again.

  1. That's interesting. A recipe for grilled potatoe salad was in our paper, but was to save time and used grilled potatoes from the deli.
