Grilled Potatoes With Blue Cheese Dressing Recipes

CRISPY GRILLED POTATOES WITH BLUE CHEESE, CHIVES AND BACON

Steps:

• Heat a grill or barbecue to 500°F.
• Use a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil (or two sheets of regular) to line a baking sheet. Make a ridge around the edges of the foil. Spread the foil with a teaspoon or two of olive oil (or butter if you prefer.)
• Place the scrubbed and halved baby potatoes cut side down on the foil. Add some fresh rosemary if you'd like. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer the foil pack on the baking sheet to the grill. Slide the foil pack off the baking sheet and onto the preheated grill.
• Cook over a hot grill (500°F.) until potatoes are almost fork tender. Resist the urge to turn them before they're crispy on the underside. Use tongs or a flipper to turn each potato piece so they'll get crispy on both sides.
• When fork tender, sprinkle with blue cheese and close the lid of the grill. When the cheese has melted, remove the foil pack to the baking sheet to safely transfer it back to the kitchen. Sprinkle with cooked bacon bits, chives, rosemary, thyme or your favourite herbs. Serve right away.

GRILLED BUFFALO POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue grill.
• Mix butter, vinegar, pepper sauce, and salt in shallow dish.
• Cut each potato lengthwise into 4 wedges. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Dip potato wedges into butter mixture and reserve any remaining butter mixture for basting.
• Cover and grill potatoes over medium heat 25 to 35 minutes, brushing occasionally with butter mixture and turning once or twice until tender.
• Serve with blue cheese dressing, if desired.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH WATERCRESS, GREEN ONIONS AND BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat grill. Toss potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Combine the vinegar, shallot, mustard and oil. Toss the potatoes in the vinaigrette. Using tongs remove potatoes from the vinaigrette. Toss the watercress and onion in the remaining vinaigrette. Place the potatoes onto the platter and top with blue cheese. Arrange the quail and watercress on top.
• Combine both peppers and salt in a small bowl. Brush quail with oil on both sides and season with the pepper mixture on skin side. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side.

GRILLED RED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON-BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Toss potatoes with 1/4 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill cut side down for 3 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling 2 to 3 minutes. Place in a large bowl.
• Place medium skillet on the side burner or the grill and heat until almost smoking. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Let cool and crumble.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, and sugar and cook until sugar is dissolved. Pour the onion mixture over the potatoes, add the crumbled bacon and parsley and toss to combine, season with salt and lots of black pepper. Spoon the salad onto a large platter and sprinkle with the crumbled blue cheese.
