Categories     Salad     Potato     Side     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), unpeeled, scrubbed
1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed
1 pound small purple potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Cut sweet potatoes into quarters. Arrange on large sheet of foil. Cover with more foil and seal edges to enclose. Wrap Yukon Gold potatoes in foil in single layer. Wrap purple potatoes in foil in single layer. Place foil packets on grill rack, 1 at a time, if necessary, and grill without turning until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes. Remove from grill. Open foil packets and cool potatoes completely. Cut all potatoes into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and celery seeds in large bowl to blend. Add all potatoes and 1/2 cup green onions and toss to blend. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving). Sprinkle salad with remaining 1 tablespoon green onions.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Fingerlings, red potatoes, and Yukon Golds are all good choices for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy: You want the potatoes to hold their shape when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad: You don't want to mash the potatoes.
  • Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise.
  • Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld.
