Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds small new potatoes (red and yellow), scrubbed
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 cornichon, finely diced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chervil, for garnish

Directions

Cover potatoes with water in a medium saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool and slice in half.

Heat the grill to medium.

In a large bowl toss the potatoes with 1/4 cup of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side down and grill until lightly golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 4 minutes longer.

While the potatoes are grilling, whisk together the vinegar, mustards, and 1/4 cup oil in a large bowl, add the red onion, cornichon and capers and stir to combine.

Remove the potatoes from the grill and immediately add to the bowl with the other ingredients and gently stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chervil.

Very good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used small red potatoes and it came out great! Boiling the potatoes first is definitely a must. The whole grain mustard... adds a great kick. Thanks Bobby!Read more

Add more potatoes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Grilled potatoes make this recipe. The volume of mustard dressing and oil is a little much for the quantity of potatoes. ... I'd add another 1/2 to 3/4 pound of potatoes to make the proportions not so heavy. The flavor is fantastic. Cornichons are NOT sweet like American sweet pickles or pickle relish, which I don't like. Use the the cornichons--found in the international section of your supermarket. They are a very good subtle flavor in the recipe and balance to the mustard and capers. Read more

Surprisingly good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've never tried potato salad w/o a mayo dressing - the flavor is so deep and rich and grilling the potatoes added tons of... flavor. I did not use the baby pickles. Excellent!Read more

Huge hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I literally couldn't stop eating this potato salad...I had like 3 helpings! I could not find cornichon or chervil in Publix,... however, I'm under the opinion that sweet pickle ruins many recipes anyway. I made one major mistake and added the blue cheese to this salad instead of the grilled corn salad from the same episode. In my opinion, it's the blue cheese that made it so good! I will continue to make it that way in future!Read more
