Grilled Potato Salad - short pinHi friends!  How was your weekend?!  Did you live it up?  Are you doing the most to enjoy these last few weeks of summer?

I certainly hope so, because not to be a negative Nancy or anything, but there are only 30 more days of official summer.  Womp womp.  This makes my heart weep.

My weekend was mehhh.

I had to work on a draft post for a client, so I spent a good portion of the weekend indoors… stomping my feet and banging my head against ALL the walls of the SuBourbon Country Cottage, praying to Webster that words would fall out.  They eventually did, but it was like a slow, painful trickle of word vomit – barely comprehensible and not at all eloquent.

It left me with a small case of summer FOMO.  And with a slight headache… obviously, because head banging.

After all the temper tantrums and pondering over why I couldn’t have been blessed with a way with words, I still had to sit down and write THIS post.

I KNOW!  #TheStruggleIsReal

Sorry, I swear I’m not normally this whinny.  You probably want to punch me.

Or maybe you want to hand me some cheese?  You know, to go along with my whine.

Ha!  Now you definitely want to punch me, huh?  Everything Bagel Seasoned Grilled Potato Salad with 7 Minute Eggs-26Okay, I’ll stop griping now.  Thank you for putting up with my nonsense. 😘

I will go ahead and get to food.

Wait… are we still friends? 😇

Anyways, with Labor Day right around the corner and 90 percent of summer in the rear-view mirror, I figured it was high time I shared a potato salad with you guys!

While I love a good classic potato salad from time to time (mayo laden and all), I wanted to share something off the beaten path, yet exceptionally delicious with you guys.

And not to toot my own horn 📯, but this ‘tater salad is every bit superb and supreme.

Grilled Potato Salad with Everything Seasoning & 7 Minute Eggs

AKA my new favorite potato salad.

Tender, smoky grilled fingerling potatoes lightly coated with rich, creamy crème fraiche.

Tossed with salty, briny capers; crisp, fresh radishes and garlicky shallots.

Finished with a generous sprinkling of crunchy, flavorful everything bagel seasoning.

Topped with perfectly luscious, slightly runny 7 minute eggs.

Dudes and dudettes!

I know this isn’t the prettiest potato salad on planet earth, but Ohh mahhh gawwwsh.  This is OH SOOOO freggin’ GOOD!  Like, immediately stop whatever you are doing and make this NOW, type of good.

Unless you are defusing a bomb.  Or rocking a baby.  Or mowing the lawn.  (<– But wait, why would you be reading this?!)

Then you should AT LEAST make this for Labor Day weekend.  Your friends, family and all their hangry baby bellies will thank you for sure. Everything Bagel Seasoned Grilled Potato Salad with 7 Minute Eggs-8 Everything Bagel Seasoned Grilled Potato Salad with 7 Minute Eggs-87

Recipe Notes:

  1. I used fingerling potatoes in my salad, but you can substitute baby yukons or use a mixture of both. Either way, make sure you cut your potatoes in half lengthwise before cooking.
  2. You will par-cook your potatoes in boiling water prior to finishing them on the grill. Always make sure you start cooking the potatoes in COLD water.  Also, make sure you well season your water with salt.  Your water should be as salty as the ocean!
  3. You only want to boil your potatoes until they are JUST tender. It is better to err on the side of caution since they will be finished on the grill.  No one wants mashed potatoes masquerading as potato salad, so if you are questioning whether they are “just tender” or not, stop cooking and drain them.  You can always leave them on the grill a minute longer.
  4. Make sure you let the potatoes cool before adding the crème fraiche. When dressing the potato salad, start with ¼ of a cup crème fraiche and then add more to taste.  I ended up using about 1/3 of a cup, but how much you use should depend on taste and how creamy you want your potato salad.
  5. If you want “drippier” eggs, cook them for a minute less (6 minutes), and if you want your yolks more cooked, add an additional minute (8 minutes). The eggs can be boiled a day in advance.  Simply boil, shock, drain and store covered in the refrigerator.  Peel the eggs JUST before using.
  6. If you want a heartier potato salad, smoked salmon would be an excellent addition!

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 6
Calories: 67 kcal
Author: Cheyanne Holzworth
Ingredients
  • 2 Pounds Baby Yukon or Fingerling Potatoes (or a mix of both) - halved
  • Olive Oil
  • 4 Eggs , room temperature
  • 1/3 Cup Crème Fraiche , or more to taste
  • 2-3 small Radishes – trimmed and cut into wedges
  • 1 large Shallot – peeled and finely diced
  • ¼ Cup Capers , drained
  • Fresh Chives – sliced, for garnishing
  • Lemon Wedges and Zest , for garnishing and serving
  • Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Everything Seasoning:
  • 1 tsp Dried Minced Onion
  • 1 tsp Dried Minced Garlic
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 1 tsp Caraway Seeds
  • 1 tsp Dried Chopped Chives
  • 1 tsp Poppy Seeds
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium high heat.
  2. In a small bowl combine all ingredients for Everything Seasoning. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl mix together crème fraiche with zest of ½ a lemon and 2 tsp of oil. Set aside.
  4. Place potatoes in a large saucepot and fill with enough cold water to cover potatoes by 2’’. Season water generously with salt. Bring water to a boil over high heat and reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Drain potatoes well and gently toss with 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the eggs in a large saucepan of gently boiling water for 7 minutes, until whites are set and yolks are slightly soft. Drain eggs and immediately transfer to a bowl filled with ice water to stop eggs from cooking further. Drain again and peel eggs. Set aside.
  6. Grill: Place the cooked potatoes, cut side down on the grill and cook 2-4 minutes, turning over halfway through, or until slightly charred on both sides. Make sure you handle potatoes gently so they don’t fall apart.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the grill and let cool slightly. Transfer potatoes to the bowl with the crème fraiche. Add in the radishes, shallots and capers. Gently toss to coat.
  8. To serve: Halve the 7 minute eggs. Transfer potatoes to a serving platter. Sprinkle with everything seasoning and remaining lemon zest. Top with eggs, fresh chives and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!

    Dear Chey – this is a true original. I absolutely love what you did with these fingerling potatoes and the everything bagel seasoning.GAHHHH!!!! I can almost taste it. Not to mention those eggs! You know where I am and what I’m doing — today is parent orientation and then GOODBYE. So I gotta run. But I’ll be thinking about this potato salad all day and it will be a nice distraction! Love you girl. XO

    No, I do not want to punch you! I want to make you lunch and pour you a glass of bubbly… 🙂

    Confession: Most potato salad is too mayo-goopy for me, but I LOVE potatoes, especially fingerling. And the way you’ve dressed and topped this salad is calling my name and those eggs, **swoon**. This is a real beauty, Cheyanne!

    Good gawsh Dudette, I don’t think I’ve ever had a potato salad as glorious as this! That everything bagel seasoning with it = mind blowing! And that crème fraiche and capers, radishes garlicky shallots and 7-minute eggs – ooh, am swooning here – and it’s so not from the heat! Truly Spectacular!
    Cheyanne, I had a post draft due too and I thought I was the only one who waited till the last minute – glad I wasn’t the only one with a headache 😉 If I had known you were going to make this, I’d have driven up and brought you some Aspirin for said headache and a plate to ladel a spoon (or 12) of this salad onto! Happy Wednesday friend!

    Okay, WHAT?!?! This is amazing! Also, I fear summer is already over here…. the days are forecasted to be a cool 70-75 for the next 2 weeks and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I could do 75 pretty much year round but I knooooooow that after that comes plummeting temperatures and snow, so it’s a little bittersweet!
