Gold Rush Potato Salad

It's been almost a year since I've posted here! Since the weather has been warm and gorgeous, I have been attempting to grill every chance I get. I bought the book Weber's BIG Book of Grilling for my brother years ago, and I should have just bought it for myself. :) He loaned it to me over a year ago, and I finally pulled it out for the season to try as many recipes as I could, while the weather is nice.

I just made the most amazing warm potato salad. It's dangerously good, and the sauce is reminiscent to Benihana's Shrimp Sauce (for those of you who are familiar with Benihana's). I have no picture because the salad is that good, and taking a picture of a dirty, empty plate isn't very appetizing...

Gold Rush Potato Salad (adapted Weber's BIG Book of Grilling)

Ingredients:

For the dressing:

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 3 Tbs finely chopped Italian parsley/or less than a Tbs of dried parsley)
• 2 Tbs red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp dijon mustard

For the Salad:

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 large red onion cut into chunks
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 - 4 celery stalks, diced

Directions:

1. Place potato chunks into a bowl. Add enough olive oil to lightly coat, and season with salt and pepper. Toss.
2. Put potatoes on a fairly large piece of aluminum foil. Fold foil over to make a pouch that can be easily turned.
3. Place potatoes on the grill over direct medium heat.
   
4. Take onions and toss in bowl that the potatoes were in, to lightly coat in oil. Put onions on a piece of foil and fold to make a pouch, like the potatoes.
   
5. Place the onions on the grill over direct medium heat.
6. The potatoes will take 15-20 minutes, and the onions will take 10-12 minutes. Turn the potatoes and onions half-way through cooking time.
7. Mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add celery.
   
8. When potatoes are cooked, add potatoes and onion to the bowl with the dressing and celery. Toss to coat everything.
9. Best when served hot or warm.
