Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For a creamy, firm texture, Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best. Avoid waxy varieties like Russet potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape less well in a salad.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you're using a mandoline, be careful to use the guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When grilling the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. Otherwise, they'll steam instead of grill.
  • Use a grill pan: If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan over medium heat. Just make sure to grease the pan well so that the potatoes don't stick.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland.
  • Let the potatoes cool before adding the dressing: This will help the potatoes absorb the dressing better and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

This Mediterranean Grilled Potato Salad is a flavorful and refreshing side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. The potatoes are grilled to perfection and tossed with a tangy dressing made with lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh herbs. It's a healthy and delicious dish that's sure to please everyone at the table.
