1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

For Grilled Potatoes and Onions:

3 pounds small red potatoes, halved
1 large red onion, peeled and cut in wedges
1/2 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup coarse ground mustard
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions (both green and white)

Prep Time:

10 minutes

Cook Time:

50 minutes

Serves:

This hearty side dish pairs beautifully with your favorite grilled steak--you can prepare it all on the BBQ grill at the same time.

Why Try? It's a healthy alternative to classic fried potatoes.

Foodie Byte: The mustard vinaigrette can be made ahead and kept chilled in the refrigerator. It also makes a great marinade for asparagus. We used a steel grill fry pan available at Williams-Sonoma.

Preparation

For the Mustard Vinaigrette:
In a 1-pint jar with a tight fitting lid, combine all ingredients well. Chill. Makes 1 cup.
To make the potatoes and onions:
Preheat grill.
Toss the onions and potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper.
Place in a steel grill fry pan.
Grill 20 minutes, tossing frequently, until potatoes are lightly browned.
Preheat conventional oven to 400°F.
Finish in oven, approximately 30 minutes, or until tender.
Serve hot with mustard vinaigrette drizzled on top.
