📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat grill to medium-high. Line a plate with paper towels.

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water by 2 inches. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until easily pierced with a knife, 14 to ⏱️ 16 minutes. Drain and let cool. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of oil.

Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from skillet. Off the heat, add garlic, vinegar, and brown sugar to the drippings in the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.

Grill potatoes cut-side down until lightly charred, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Grill scallions, turning occasionally, until charred, 4 to ⏱️ 6 minutes. Chop scallions into 1-inch pieces.

Add potatoes, scallions, and marjoram to bowl with dressing, and toss to coat. Let stand for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with marjoram. Serve immediately.
