2) GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING
PREP TIME 40 min. TOTAL TIME 50 min. NUMBER OF INGREDIENTS: 9 SERVES: 16
Ingredients
3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion (sweet), thickly sliced
6 slices thick cut bacon
1/4 cup roughly cut fresh dill weed
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Gulden’s® Spicy Brown Mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat the grill to high. Add the potatoes to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 8 minutes or until just before al dente. Strain the potatoes and add them to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add them to the grill, to slightly char and finish cooking. While the potatoes are cooking, coat the onion slices in the remaining oil and add them to the grill to roast. Once the potatoes are slightly charred and cooked through, remove them from the grill along with the onions and chill. Next add the bacon strips to a cooler part of the grill and cook until crispy. Note the bacon will cause a lot of flames so constantly turn them and move them. The bacon will also cook very fast. Once the bacon is cooked, remove and chop. In a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and apple cider vinegar until combined and add in the potatoes and onions once cool along with the bacon, dill, green onions, salt and pepper and toss and chill. Serve cold.

Directions
Spray cold grates of gas grill with grilling spray. Preheat grill for medium-low heat. Meanwhile, pulse tomatoes, garlic and salt in food processor until well blended; set aside.

Grill until lightly charred, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Slice sausages into 1/4-inch rounds; cut mushrooms into quarters. Spread tomato sauce evenly on grilled crust; top with cheese, sausage, mushrooms and basil. Grill pizza until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes, rotating pizza if needed for even heating. Cut into 6 slices.
Cook’s Tips: To quickly make your own pizza dough: Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon instant yeast, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar to food processor; pulse until well combined, about 15 seconds. Add 3/4 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon olive oil and continue to pulse until dough forms a ball, about 30 seconds. Remove dough and knead until smooth. Place dough in medium bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
