Potato and Red Onion Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

I have done many barbecues on-board the superyachts I have been on, fortunately one yacht was blessed with a beautiful barbecue which was situated off the back of the fold down transom.  This potato compliments this style of meal or can be served in small portions as an entree and oh course as part of a buffet for crew meals.

The vinaigrette can be used on green salads, pasta salads, a drizzle for chicken or fish dishes.

Cook potatoes in their skins in a large saucepan of salted boiling water until tender and cut into desired size when cool. If limited for time, cut potatoes into desired size and cook until tender care must be taken not to over cook otherwise skins will fall off and potatoes will break up.
