WOW...Over 100 degrees here so I wanted a no mayo potatoe salad. This is wonderful. I did the potatoes on my George Foreman grill, 20 minutes worked well and I lifted it up to be level so they wont slip out. I also doubled the dressing, had no cilantro so added a pinch of oregano, and a handful of snipped fresh chives, and to tone down the tartness of the dijon, added 2 TBS sugar. We love this, so diferent from the norm!!!TY Yooper!

These were very good!! Because of the other review, which helped, I laid the potatoes on some tin foil on the bbq, not wraped, just sitting on top, until they were almost done, then put them right on the grill, to finish them, got some nice lines on them and I'm sure added that great (slightly charred) bbq taste. The dressing was wonderful!! A nice change from the ordinary. Thanks Yooper for a keeper!!

I had trouble getting the potatos done on the grill without burning them, so I finished cooking them in the microwave. The taste was fabulous and next time I think that I will probably double the dressing because the potatos just soaked it up. Great recipe - thanks for posting it.

another great one from yooper! this was really tasty, a little more involved than your average potato salad, but definately worth the effort. people expecting "hum-drum" potato salad will definately be surprised by this one. this is one dish i will definately make again.

This was marvelous - and so easy! The red potatoes at the market were kind of withered looking so I used Yukon Golds instead (at the same price, yet). I cut them in chunks and steamed them about 5 minutes first. Next time will make the chunks a little smaller. I have a slotted tray that can go on my grill so there's no danger of them falling through. (I recommend anybody doing a lot of outdoor grilling to get one of these things, they are great) Next time I plan to grill some bell pepper strips to go in the salad. The 'dressing' was absolutely fabulous. I can see it on other grilled veggies - zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, tomats?
