I’m not a fan of what most people think of when they hear the words, “potato salad.” Cold potatoes just aren’t my thing. But this warm version is easy and packed with flavor. Served with a simple grilled tenderloin rubbed with herbs and garlic, it’s all perfect.
This is a grilled recipe, but the pork can be cooked in a pan on the stove top and the potatoes roasted in the oven if you prefer.
Watch the full video on how to make this meal here, on CLJTV.
My favorite thing about this potato salad is that it’s awesome as is, but also a great start to creating something unique and tailored to your preferences. Give it a try and, if you make any adjustments, I’d love to hear about them. Enjoy!

Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

This looks like a potato salad that would actually taste good! Can’t wait to try it!
My husband loved this and he hates potato salad. Keep them coming. Thanks! Megan
Made this for dinner tonight and it was EXCELLENT! Keep these Chris Cooks episodes coming on IGTV — I really enjoy them! Thank you for all you do on CLJ — the cooking is just an added bonus.
I’m always skeptical of everyones potato salad, but this looks legit! Gonna try it

Sounds delicious and I’ll definitely try it, but this plate is crying for some color. I think I’ll add some red and green peppers to the potatoes and some green scallions on top.
Hi there! I’m not on Instagram, so I rely on the direct links you post on the blog to access CLJTV (thank you for those!!). I wanted to let you know I clicked the link in this post and it took me to a garlic press on Amazon rather than CLJTV.
Also, this meal looks delicious!! I look forward to making it for my family.
Thanks for letting me know! Link is fixed.
I’m stuck at work and all I want to do is run to the store for all of these ingredients!!
For sure making this in the next week! Looks and sounds amazing.
I discovered this recipe of yours a few weeks ago – I didn’t realize you had so many recipes buried in your blog archives, so I’m glad you’re featuring this more often!
Anyway, I’ve made this several times for my family, and most recently for a July 4th family reunion, and what I love most is that it actually tastes like potatoes, and the dressing has lots of complex flavor.
I cook this a little differently by first boiling tiny, new potatoes, then letting them cool slightly (I’ve even done this step the day before and refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temp before continuing with next steps). Then slice in half and toss with oil, S&P. Instead of grilling, I place them cut-side-down in a heated cast iron pan until nicely seared. I have a large, 15″ pan and still need to do this in batches, but it doesn’t take long. I’m sure a grill would be delicious, but for scorching hot days and/or apartment dwellers, this works beautifully, and you could even add few drops of liquid smoke to the dressing.
Sounds awesome, Rebecca! Love the adjustments and that you made it yours!
While I know this isn’t the point of these posts, I really do appreciate that you typically include a vegetarian side when making these meals. The warm potato salad looks amazing and we will be trying it very soon! I also love your instructions on ways to cut veggies that you’ve included in past stories. The new instagram “TV” is a great way to show off your recipes. We don’t eat meat, but I still watch every one as I get something out of it each time either way. Thanks!
LOVING all these recipes!! You guys are killing it on the blog!! Have tried every recipe you have ever added and will definitely add this to the menu next week. Thank you!!!
PS- we are mayo haters over here- do you think we could seamlessly substitute plain greek yogurt instead? Thank you!!!
You could definitely make that substitution – though I would let the potatoes cool down more if you do. Yogurt can start to curdle in the heat of the potatoes, so just make it room temperature and it’ll be great. :)
Great tip- definitely wouldn’t have thought of that! Thanks for the information!!
Yum – really looking forward to trying my hand at the warm potato salad as I am getting bored of the cold versions.
Well, I LOVE traditional cold potato salad, Chris. But this knocks it out of the park!
And I’m grilling your pork loin this week for sure. Looks spectacular!
Thank you
