Make Creamy Mango Dressing
For making creamy mango dressing, you will need ripe mangoes, eggless mayonnaise, olive oil, salt, crushed pepper, lemon juice, and herbs. The recipe of mango dressing or dips can perfect combine with grilled baby potato salad.
Mangoes are juicy fruits and can be easily mashed. So, instead of a blender or food processor it can easily blend with mayonnaise properly.

The mango dressing is best to season with salt, pepper, dried herbs, and lemon juice. Or you can add finely chopped garlic for extra flavor.

Marinate baby potato before grilling
To grill the bay potato, start by cooking potatoes whole with marinated. To do so, preheat a grill to high heat and brush clean.
Slice baby potatoes in half, toss in a bowl with two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and two tablespoons of your favorite spice blend (Cajuns, ras el Hanout or fajita seasoning are all great options).
Grill for about 10 minutes on each side until browned and tender. Allow cooling slightly, then slice again into 1/2 inch slices.

Can be baby potato salad served warm?
Yes, it can. But no need to dress with mayonnaise or mango puree. Simple season with salt, crushed pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and chopped cilantro. Mix well, and serve warm with your choices of dips. (Cilantro dips, Mint sauce, and Mango sauce)
When you’re grilling a baby potato, serve it warm. Baby potatoes are more delicate than other kinds of potatoes, so if you try to eat them cold, they won’t hold up and fall apart.
If you are going to serve cold, you have to dress with creamy mango dressing, or you can dress with what you like.
