Ingredients

  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon cooked until crisp, then coarsely crumbled
  • 2 pounds red new potatoes golf-ball size, scrubbed and poked with a fork
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 green onions including green tops, cut crosswise into thin rounds
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Method

  • Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on medium. In a medium bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil until well coated.
  • Arrange potatoes around cool outer edges of grill or place on upper rack if grill is so equipped. Cover and grill potatoes until tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes. While potatoes are grilling, put green onions and bacon in a large bowl, and make dressing. Combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley, salt, sugar and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside. When potatoes are tender, transfer to a cutting board and cool for 5 minutes. Cut potatoes in half and add to bacon and onions in the bowl. Stir dressing to combine and pour over potatoes. Gently toss to thoroughly combine. Serve immediately.
  • **The potato salad can be made up to 2 hours prior to serving. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
