Grilled Potato Salad with Soft Boiled Eggs

If you’re not a fan of potato salad, this is the recipe that will change your mind. Served on a bed of arugula with grilled potatoes an herb vinaigrette and soft boiled eggs, bring this to your next backyard barbecue.

We love a good potato salad, but hardly do we find recipes that we love. So we created one that has everything we adore. Perfect at a summer backyard barbecue, this recipe features grilled potatoes that are dressed in an herbed vinaigrette, instead of a mayo dressing that gets pretty weird in the hot sun, served on a bed of peppery arugula, and topped with the most glorious 7-minute soft boiled eggs you ever did see.

While the grilled potatoes may look quite glorious, the real hero of this dish is those golden-yolked, perfectly runny eggs. For this recipe, we used eggs Vital Farms. Here’s why: first and foremost, because they are so rich and delicious (Take another look at those beautiful yolks!), but also because the chickens are pasture-raised which is something we believe is not only good for the chickens, but good for the eggs and our earth too. What the chickens eat makes a big difference in the nutrients we gain from their eggs.

Here are some nutritional benefits of pasture-raised eggs.

• They contain 66% more Vitamin A.
• Two times more Omega-3.
• Three times more Vitamin E.
• Four times more Vitamin D.
• Seven times more Beta Carotene.
• 1/3 Less Cholesterol
• 1/4 less Saturated Fat Print
