Description

A smoky, creamy twist on classic potato salad made with grilled baby potatoes, crunchy celery, and a tangy paprika dressing. Perfect for BBQs and summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Lightly oil the grill grates. Toss the halved baby potatoes in a bit of oil and place them cut-side down on the grill.
  4. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and potatoes are fork-tender. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine grilled potatoes with celery, green onions, and parsley.
  6. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently until everything is well coated.
  7. Let the salad rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Chilling the salad for a few hours makes the flavor even better.
  • Use a mix of red and yellow baby potatoes for added color and texture.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
