Grilled Potatoes and Red Onions with Mustard Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- For Mustard Vinaigrette:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For Grilled Potatoes and Onions:
- 3 pounds small red potatoes, halved
- 1 large red onion, peeled and cut in wedges
- 1/2 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup coarse ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (both green and white)
This hearty side dish pairs beautifully with your favorite grilled steak--you can prepare it all on the BBQ grill at the same time.
Why Try? It's a healthy alternative to classic fried potatoes.
Foodie Byte: The mustard vinaigrette can be made ahead and kept chilled in the refrigerator. It also makes a great marinade for asparagus. We used a steel grill fry pan available at Williams-Sonoma.
