I can eat potato salad like crazy. A little spice is nice, so I use cayenne and paprika in this grilled salad that comes with its own fireworks. —Ashley Armstrong, Kingsland, Georgia

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes (about 30), quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • DRESSING:
  • 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • SALAD:
  • 6 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
  • Minced fresh chives, optional

Directions

  1. Toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper; place in a grill wok or basket. Grill, covered, over medium heat 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl; cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix dressing ingredients. Add dressing, eggs and celery to potatoes; toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, 1-2 hours or until cold. If desired, sprinkle with chives.
Editor's Note: If you do not have a grill wok or basket, use a large disposable foil pan and poke holes in the bottom of the pan.
