Donna’s Grilled Potatoes And Onions

After all the potato salads I have made over the years, my husband declared this one the best. I like it too because it is not the heavy mayonnaise-type and it has a wonderful grilled flavor.

2 pounds small red potatoes 2 large onions 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon black pepper grill cooking oil spray

Dressing
1/4 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon dill weed 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste 1/4 teaspoon white pepper salt and pepper to taste

In a large sauce pan, cook potatoes in salted boiling water just until fork tender. Do not over cook. Chill under cold running water and drain. Cut potatoes in half and place in zip lock plastic bag. Cut onions into 1/4 inch slices and place in bag with potatoes.

Mix 2 tablespoon olive oil, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a small jar. Pour into bag with potatoes. Toss bag gently to coat potatoes. Add additional olive oil if necessary. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to grill. (Potatoes can be prepared to this point the day before.)

Heat grill to medium heat. Place potatoes and onions in large grill basket. Grill with cover closed until potatoes and onions are lightly brown and tender. Watch very carefully to prevent burning and stir frequently.

While potatoes are grilling, prepare dressing. Combine all dressing ingredients in small jar. Mix well. When potatoes are done, place in a large bowl. Add dressing immediately to the hot potatoes. Stir gently to mix. Let stand 10 – 15 minutes or until dressing is absorbed.
