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.

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.

Grilled Tripletail with Lump Crab and Chive Beurre Blanc

Tripletail has always been my favorite Gulf fish. The old-timers used to say, "If you can see a tripletail, you can catch a tripletail." They have this peculiar habit of floating near the surface around buoys, crab traps, and other floating objects, often lying on their sides and appearing almost lifeless. This behavior makes them easy to spot and, if you're quick with your cast, easy to hook. The meat is mild, white, and flaky—perfect for grilling. Pairing it with lump crab and a chive beurre blanc elevates this dish to something truly special.

Potato Gratin

Potatoes are the one vegetable I could never give up. Fried, roasted, mashed, or scalloped—doesn’t matter, they’re always on the table in one form or another. This gratin is my favorite way to make them feel a little more special. It’s rich, creamy, and just decadent enough to make it feel like you’re putting in some extra effort. There’s a good bit of cheese in this recipe, but that’s exactly how it should be. The combination of sharp white Cheddar, gruyere, and Parmesan gives it the perfect balance of nuttiness, creaminess, and tang. And using Yukon gold potatoes instead of russets makes a big difference. They have just the right amount of starch to get creamy without getting mushy. This dish is a showstopper on the holiday table, but I’d eat it on a random Tuesday without hesitation.
