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.

Instructions

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

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.

Pastel de Huevo

OK, so it’s a quiche. But “Mexican Quiche” just didn’t sound right. I’ve already thrown in an Italian version in this book. I don’t want to do even more to insult the Francophiles. So, we’ll just call it an egg pie. If you have a Mexican market nearby, purchase your chorizo there (unless you make your own). Substitute queso cotija or queso chihuahua for a little more depth in the flavor profile. Leftover salsa can be used for a topping on scrambled eggs or a dip with chips later in the day.

Baked Potato Quiche

I call this recipe “Comfort quiche.” It’s perfect for a cold December evening. The great thing about quiche is that it can be prepared in advance and held cold in the refrigerator or frozen up to a couple of weeks. When the holidays are hectic and the house is crowded, this quiche is perfect as a lap meal in front of the fireplace served alongside a light salad.
