Ingredients
- 3 lbs medium-size red potatoes
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1/3 cup white or golden balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh basil finely minced
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts optional
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with lid or plastic wrap.
- Note: If using plastic wrap, make sure plastic wrap is not touching any ingredients and poke one small hole in cover to vent.
- Microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes or until potatoes are tender (cooking time may vary depending on microwave).
- Use oven mitts to carefully remove from microwave.
- When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half or quarters and spray liberally with olive oil spray.
- Grill over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until grill lines are apparent.
- Remove from grill and let cool.
- Cut into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Whisk together vinegar, oil, salt and garlic; pour over potatoes and toss lightly to coat.
- Season with pepper, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, toss with Parmesan cheese and basil, then sprinkle with pine nuts.
