GRILLED SCALLION POTATO SALAD



Grilled Scallion Potato Salad image

Potato salad often has a bit of raw onion in it to add a crisp sharp bite to the dish, but in this recipe onions and scallions are grilled. Grilling them replaces some of their intensity with a sweet-smoky char that pairs nicely with the red skinned potatoes.
