Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs. small red potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp. salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper, divided
  • 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh tarragon

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Drain cool slightly. Cut each in half.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper; toss to coat. Arrange cut sides down on a grilling grid; place on a grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Chop onion. Place onion and potatoes in bowl.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, garlic and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Add to potato mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with tarragon. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.

  4. Note: If you do not have a grilling grid, use a disposable foil pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the pan with a meat fork to allow any liquid to drain.
