How about another recipe for potato salad? And this recipe turns into a really good recipe for potatoes and tomatoes with steak.

You need to grill these vegetables on the barbeque so get yourself a grill basket to grill without the vegetables falling through the barbeque grates.

You will need maybe two cups of new potatoes, a banana pepper, some of this year’s crop of very small tomatoes and some onions from this year’s crop as well.

For the sauce for the potato salad you will need a quarter cup of a raspberry and vinegar salad dressing, a quarter cup of seasoned rice wine vinegar, a quarter cup of olive oil and a good dollop of your favorite mustard.

Let’s do the sauce first. Mix all the ingredients in a mason jar and add salt and pepper and shake well until combined. Taste and make sure it is sort of sweet. If need be add some sugar to taste. Reserve.

Par boil the new potatoes for about fifteen minutes. Split in half unless they are tiny. Chop up the pepper and the onion. When potatoes have cooked put them plus the pepper and the onion in a grill basket with lots of salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes start to roast. At that time stir the mess around well and add the tomatoes. Cook for about five minutes. Then take out and mix with dressing and serve hot or cool before serving.

For potatoes to go with steak, again cut in half and par boil those new potatoes then add to the grill basket and cook until they start turning brown. Then add the tomatoes and cook just until the tomatoes pop open but are still whole. This can all be done while cooking steaks as well on the barbeque to go with. Serve with a tad of melted butter and lots of salt and pepper.

These are really good hot weather meals.

Bon Appetite!
