Skewered French Potato Salad

Grilled skewered new potatoes drizzled with a flavorful red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard sauce with parsley and chives.

Recipe Ingredients:

32 small new potatoes, cleaned
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons minced chives

Cooking Directions:

1. Rub potatoes well with vegetable oil. Skewer potatoes onto 8 skewers (4 potatoes per skewer), leaving some space between potatoes. Grill over moderately hot fire, turning once, for about 20 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together remaining ingredients.
