How to Make 3 Potato Salad

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
  2. Wash and scrub 3 pounds of small red potatoes. Wrap each potato individually in heavy-duty tin foil.
  3. Grill potatoes in batches (approx. 3 potatoes per batch) for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender. You may need to adjust grilling time based on potato size.
  4. Remove potatoes from foil and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch chunks.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, and 1 teaspoon celery seed.
  6. Add the cooled potatoes and 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve immediately at room temperature or chill for later. The salad tastes even better after chilling for a couple of hours!
