Recipe fact:,br> The combination of potatoes in this salad incorporates three different colors, textures and flavors. Yukon Gold potatoes provide rich, buttery color and flavor, as well as a medium-firm texture. Red boiling potatoes add a bright spark of color, plus a waxy, firm texture. With their deep orange flesh, red garnet sweet potatoes contribute sweetness that contrasts nicely with the mustard in the dressing. The soft flesh of the sweet potatoes provides another texture to this salad.

Ingredient substitution:
Check the farmer's market for other potatoes to use in this salad. Try white rose, fingerling or any variety of new potatoes.

Make ahead tip:
Boil the potatoes early in the day; cover and refrigerate them. Mix together the dressing; cover and refrigerate it. When ready to grill, continue with the recipe as directed.
