Make sure to use tender skinned new potatoes, the smallest ones you can find. New potatoes are freshly harvested young potatoes. With paper-thin skins and lots of moisture inside, and they tend to be sweeter than older potatoes and are excellent in potato salads. They are also really delicious prepared simply – steamed and topped with a little butter, salt and fresh dill.

What is black garlic?
Black garlic, is garlic that has been fermented. The flavor will surprise you. The fermentation process, mellows garlic’s pungency greatly, and transforms into something earthy, sweet and full of umami flavor.
Mash it into a paste. Then stir it into a vinaigrette.
Give the new potatoes a quick blanch.
Toss the blanched potatoes with a little of the black garlic vinaigrette, just enough to coat.
Then grill them, turning to give a little char on most sides.
Sprinkle with fresh chives, chive blossoms and dill. Serve it like it this, warm or at room temp, or chill for later.
Keep it vegan or serve it will a dollop of dilled sour cream.
Happy grilling friends!
