"When I was a kid, my mom would marinate cucumbers, red onions, and canned potatoes in jarred creamy Italian dressing," says Jamie Bissonnette. "I'm not saying she was a great cook, but creamy Italian dressing is still my favorite. I make a version of it for this salad."

Ingredients
- 2 lb. red bliss potatoes
- kosher salt
- cup crème fraîche or mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. celery seeds
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1 tsp. minced parsley
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 English cucumber
- cup thinly sliced red onion
Directions
- Step 1In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and simmer over moderately low heat until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool completely, then cut them in half lengthwise.
- Step 2Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the crème fraîche, vinegar, corn syrup, mustard, celery seeds, and garlic. Gradually whisk in the 1/4 cup of oil. Stir in the crushed red pepper, oregano, and 1 teaspoon of minced parsley and season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- Step 3Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Generously brush the potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the potatoes, cut side down, over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly charred and hot, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
- Step 4Toss the potatoes with the dressing and season them with salt and pepper. Fold in the cucumber, red onion, and the 1/2 cup of chopped parsley and serve.
