Grilled Potato Salad

Ingredients

3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1/4” thick circles

3 quarts water

1 Tbsp kosher salt

1/2 cup no-stick grilling marinade for vegetables

1 1/4 cups Blue Plate Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Yellow mustard

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp

Place the potatoes, water and salt in a 6 quart pot. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Do not let the water boil. Potatoes should be just less than fork tender when they are removed from the water. Drain the par cooked potatoes and allow to cool. Brush the cooled potatoes with the no-stick marinade.

 

Prepare the grill. Place the grill screen over direct medium heat. Spread the potatoes over the grill topper and cook 10-12 minutes, turning once while cooking. Remove the potatoes from the grill and allow to cool.

 

Combine the Blue Plate® Mayonnaise, mustards, vinegar, pepper and salt to form a dressing. Gently fold in the potatoes and remaining ingredients into the dressing. Serve immediately.

 

If making in advance or eating leftovers, allow the potato salad to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving.

A grill screen works best to cook the potatoes in this recipe.

Potatoes should be just less than fork tender when they are removed from the water. Drain the par cooked potatoes and allow to cool. Brush the cooled potatoes with the no-stick marinade.

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
