I found this recipe in a special insert to my local paper (years ago), but only just recently tried it. I thought there wasn't anything you could do new to a potato, but I was so wrong! Friends and family also recommended the aioli mix over fish. . .

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds small new potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

How To Make grilled new potatoes with lemon-garlic aioli

  • Step 1
    In a large pot of salted water, boil potatoes until just thoroughly cooked, but not completely soft, 10 - 15 minutes depending on size. Test by piercing a potato with a thin skewer; when the skewer meats some resistance but can slide all the way through, the potatoes are ready. Drain potatoes immediately and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Step 2
    Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, lemon rind, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a blender; blend until smooth.
  • Step 3
    Heat grill to high.
  • Step 4
    Cut potatoes in half, brush the cut sides with oil, and season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Grill potatoes cut side down until golden brown and just thoroughly cooked, 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Place potatoes on a platter, drizzle with the aioli and sprinkle with chives.
