Servings: 4
Calories: 260kcal
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 ½ pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed clean and halved lengthwise
- 1 small onion
- 1 large scallion, sliced thin
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 Tablespoon of the bacon grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, mayonnaise, chipotle, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue whisking until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside.
- Turn all burners of your grill to high and heat for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and clean and oil grill.
- Peel onion and cut it into 1/2 inch slices (you'll probably only get 3-4 slices from a small onion). Stick a toothpick horizontally through each slice to keep it from falling apart. Lightly brush both sides of each onion slice with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss potato halves with the reserved bacon grease and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Place potatoes (cut side down) and onions on the grill. Cook until the bottoms are browned and have defined grill marks, about 10-12 minutes. Flip both potatoes and onions and continue cooking until the bottoms are browned with grill marks, 10-14 more minutes. Transfer potatoes and onions to a large plate to cool.
- Remove toothpicks from onions and coarsely chop. Cut potatoes into bite-sized (about 1/2-1 inch) pieces. Add potatoes, onions, bacon and scallions to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat.
