Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Dressing:
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
How To Make Grilled Potato Salad?
- Preheat the grill: Set your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Prepare the potatoes: Place potatoes in a large bowl, add 30ml / 2 tablespoons olive oil, and toss to coat.
- Grill the potatoes: Place the potatoes on the preheated grill and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Allow them to cool for 10–15 minutes before cutting them into quarters.
- Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together 120ml / ½ cup olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic, and sugar until smooth.
- Combine and toss: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled potatoes, chopped bacon, green onions, and parsley. Pour the dressing over and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Recipe Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Use waxy red potatoes for the best texture; they hold their shape on the grill and don’t get mushy.
- Cut for Even Cooking: If your potatoes are large, cut them into smaller, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking on the grill.
- Don’t Skip Cooling: Let the potatoes cool slightly after grilling before tossing with the dressing; this helps them absorb the flavors better without falling apart.
- Crisp the Bacon: Cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. This adds a great crunchy texture to the salad.
- Dress Just Before Serving: For the freshest taste, toss the potatoes with the dressing right before serving to keep the salad from becoming too oily.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover grilled potato salad cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potato salad and stir occasionally for 5–7 minutes, until it’s heated evenly.
