Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds new potatoes
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Canola oil, for tossing
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Put the potatoes in a pot of generously salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and garlic in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified.
Heat the grill to high. Toss the potatoes with a little canola oil, and season with salt and pepper. Put the potatoes in a grill basket and grill, shaking the basket occasionally and turning the potatoes as needed, until charred in spots and just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Put the potatoes in a serving bowl and toss with the dressing while still hot. Add the parsley and toss again. Serve.

Categories Salad Potato

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, chives, mint, or basil (use at least 3)
1/4 cup whole milk
2 Tbs. mayonnaise
4 tsp. white wine vinegar
1 Tbs. grainy Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 lb. fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
8 large shallots, peeled and halved
3 Tbs. olive oil

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, herbs, milk, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, lemon zest, and 3/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Blend with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth; set aside. Prepare a gas or charcoalgrill for indirect cooking over medium-high heat: On a gas grill, heat all burners on medium high and then turn off all but one burner just before cooking the potatoes; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side of the grill. In another large bowl, toss the potatoes and shallots with the olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Put the potatoes and shallots on the cooler side of the grill (if the bars on your grill grates are far apart, lay a piece of foil down and put the potatoes and shallots on it), cover, and cook until tender and golden-brown, flipping once, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl of dressing. Transfer the shallots to a cutting board, coarsely chop, and then add them to the potatoes. Stir gently to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm
