For a deeper smoky flavor, use wood chips like hickory or applewood on your grill.
Don't overcook the potatoes on the grill – they should be just tender.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking.
This salad is best served warm or at room temperature, but it can also be enjoyed cold.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 20-25 minutes.
