Ingredients

  • 2 lb.

    new red potatoes

  • Kosher salt and pepper

  • 2

    medium leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise

  • 3 Tbsp.

    plus 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1 Tbsp.

    finely grated lemon zest

  • 1/4 tsp.

    red pepper flakes

  • 2 Tbsp.

    cider vinegar

  • 2 Tbsp.

    whole-grain mustard

Directions

    1. Step 1Heat grill to medium-high. Place potatoes in large pot, add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt, reduce heat, and simmer until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool. 
    2. Step 2While potatoes cook, brush leeks with 2 teaspoons oil, then place on grill cut sides down and grill, covered, until charred and nearly tender, 6 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit at least 5 minutes.
    3. Step 3Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine lemon zest, pepper flakes, vinegar, mustard, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. 
    4. Step 4Halve potatoes, or quarter if large. Chop leeks and toss with vinaigrette, then fold in potatoes.
