Best Grilled Mediterranean Potato Salad With Bacon Recipes

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE

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.

Steps:

• Place medium skillet on the side burner or the grill and heat until almost smoking. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Let cool and crumble.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, and sugar and cook until sugar is dissolved. Pour the onion mixture over the potatoes, add the crumbled bacon and parsley and toss to combine, season with salt and lots of black pepper. Spoon the salad onto a large platter and sprinkle with the crumbled blue cheese.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Put the red potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, after about 10 minutes, add the sweet potatoes. Return to a boil and cook 10 more minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, gently toss them in the mayonnaise mixture to coat.
• Make the vinaigrette: Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, then set aside to cool in the skillet. Once cool, pour the bacon and drippings into a small bowl along with the olive oil. In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar and mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil-bacon mixture, whisking to emulsify. Add the scallions, parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste and whisk to blend.
• Using tongs, place the potato pieces on the hot grill and cook on all sides long enough to cook through and make grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Handle the potatoes gently so they don't fall apart. Remove the potatoes from the grill and place in the bowl with the vinaigrette. Gently toss to coat completely and serve warm or cold.
