Grilled New Potatoes with Lemon-Garlic Aioli image

I found this recipe in a special insert to my local paper (years ago), but only just recently tried it. I thought there wasn't anything you could do new to a potato, but I was so wrong! Friends and family also recommended the aioli mix over fish. . .

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lb small new potatoes, unpeeled
1/4 c mayonnaise
6 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper, divided
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 c finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot of salted water, boil potatoes until just thoroughly cooked, but not completely soft, 10 - 15 minutes depending on size. Test by piercing a potato with a thin skewer; when the skewer meats some resistance but can slide all the way through, the potatoes are ready. Drain potatoes immediately and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • 2. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, lemon rind, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp 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 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Grill potatoes cut side down until golden brown and just thoroughly cooked, 2 - 3 minutes.
  • 5. Place potatoes on a platter, drizzle with the aioli and sprinkle with chives.
