This grilled potato salad truly is the best potato salad ever. |
If you're not a potato salad person, get ready to fall in love with potato salad. This recipe is beyond amazing. If you are a potato salad lover, get ready to meet the dish of your life. Extreme words, I know. But an extremely delicious dish deserves such high praise.
It was like discovering penicillin the day I made this potato salad. Okay, slight exaggeration, but you have to try it. I had seen someone throw grilled potatoes into a potato salad and decided to give it a try. I just happened to have balsamic mayo in my fridge that day (along with celery, green onions, and eggs) so that's what went into the salad. It also occurred to me, in a moment of utter inspiration, to amp up the smokey flavor with some smoked paprika. What a grand idea that was. Okay, here it goes.
Slice about a pound of red potatoes into rounds. Toss them with plenty of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill 'em on a grill pan for about 20 minutes or so, turning them over a few times for even cooking and browning.
Slice up a couple of hard boiled eggs, some celery, and a few green onions.
Dump in the grilled potatoes and the rest of the ingredients and gently toss together.
