Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes

  • Partially boil the baby potatoes until about 80% cooked. Gently press each potato slightly with a fork or potato masher.

Marinate the Potatoes

  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped scallion whites, crushed black pepper, dried herbs, and salt. Add the partially cooked potatoes and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Grill the Potatoes

  • Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium heat. Grill the marinated potatoes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Prepare the Salad

  • While the potatoes are grilling, combine mixed greens, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced tomato in a large bowl.

Make the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, dried herbs, and salt until well combined.

Assemble the Salad

  • Pour the lemon-honey dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add the warm grilled potatoes and fresh dill to the salad. Toss gently to combine everything.

Garnish and Serve

  • Serve the warm potato salad immediately, garnished with crumbled cottage cheese (or feta), chopped scallion greens, and fresh dill.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the potato marinade.
  • If you don't have a grill pan, you can roast the potatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of honey and lemon juice in the dressing to your liking.
  • To make this salad vegetarian, use crumbled feta cheese instead of cottage cheese.
