Ingredients

3 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced chives
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, onion, oil, salt and pepper. Divide mixture between two double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 40-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning once. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Transfer potato mixture to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chives, vinegar, sugar and mustard; pour over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with blue cheese and bacon. Yield: 9 servings.
