The BEST Potato Salad Recipe

Grilling season is in full swing at our house. This is our favorite time of year. We fire up the grill multiple times a week. This Grilled Greek Potato Salad is our go-to side dish this time of year. It is the BEST! I am not a big fan of classic potato salad. It has way too much mayonnaise for my taste. This only has a touch of mayonnaise in the potato salad dressing and a ton of amazing flavor! Grilled potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, mayonnaise, feta, and basil. Seriously delicious! It is similar to a German potato salad but with a smoky flavor. This recipe will be on repeat all bbq season.

How to Make Grilled Greek Potato Salad

This recipe is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Prick petite red potatoes all over with a fork. Place the potatoes in a medium bowl and microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut partially cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces and return to bowl. Pour extra virgin olive oil and Greek seasoning over potatoes. Toss with a rubber spatula to coat.

Prepare grill. Place potatoes in a grill basket and grill potatoes on the preheated grill until fork tender and golden brown. Remove the potatoes from the grill and cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, mayonnaise, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and toss in the dressing. Add some crumbled feta and chopped fresh basil and toss to coat. Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large serving bowl and enjoy.

  1. definitely a keeper – but why the omeprazole in the picture (is that alluded to in the the phrase you used re keeping it on repeat all summer?). I am cooking the Kansas bbq chicken this week and alongside making the baked beans (with a little tweak to fit in with kosher). Thanks – will let you know how it all pans out!
