Mustard Aioli-Grilled Potatoes with Fines Herbes Recipe | Epicurious.com image

An abundance of mustard seeds grows in California's Napa Valley?as it does in the south of France; the regions share a similar climate. It makes sense, then, that many of the same ingredients feature prominently in both cuisines. These potatoes, grilled with a mustardy aioli (basically, garlic-scented mayonnaise) and served with a scattering of herbs, would be at home on either region's table. Delicate parsley, chives, and tarragon are known collectively as fines herbes and are a staple of Mediterranean cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, smashed to a paste
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 heaping tablespoon whole grain mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, and both mustards in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover the aioli and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • Put the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until a skewer inserted into the center of a potato meets some resistance, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
  • Heat your grill to medium for direct grilling.
  • Put the potatoes in a large bowl, toss with the aioli, and season with salt. Grill until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a platter, sprinkle with the fresh herbs, and season with salt and pepper.
