Ingredients
- 7 small to medium red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Bacon-Green Onion Vinaigrette, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the grill. Place the red potatoes in a large saucepan, and fill with cold water, covering the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, about 8 minutes, add the sweet potatoes. Return to boil and cook for 8 more minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, onion and garlic powders, cayenne and some salt and pepper. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, toss them in the mayonnaise mixture and stir gently to coat. Using tongs, place potato pieces on the hot grill, and cook on all sides long enough to make grill marks, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Handle gently so they don't fall apart. In a large bowl, place the Bacon-Green Onion Vinaigrette. As the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the grill and place the hot potatoes in the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss the potatoes in the dressing to coat completely and serve, warm or cold.
Bacon-Green Onion Vinaigrette:
- 1 slice bacon, cut into lardons
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a small saute pan, cook the bacon until crisp, and set aside to cool. Once cooled, pour the bacon and fat into a small bowl along with the olive oil. In another small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil-bacon mixture, whisking to emulsify. Add the green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper, to taste and whisk to blend.
Yield: about 1/3 cup

I'm not a fan of vinagrette potatoes, but I must say this is exceptional. I used small Yukon golds so I went easy on the boiling. I think 8 minutes is too long. EXCELLENT!!!!!

INCREADIBLE! I had a couple picky eaters on my hands this weekend who said they don't eat potato salad, but after trying this, I could not get them away from the bowl! They finished it all! I doubled the recipe and added 6 strips of bacon (for the men I was feeding. Extra bacon never hurts, right? And also added a little sugar to the final dressing... AWESOME!!
