Grilled Potato Planks Topped with Tuna, Tomato and Basil | Easy Appetizer Recipe

Grilled Potatoes Topped with Tuna, Tomato and Basil is an easy appetizer recipe, which would work well as a light lunch or snack as well. It is also gluten and dairy free, so fits with my daughter’s eating plan (although she is only interested in eating the potatoes).  I make potatoes like this on the grill a lot in the summer.  The potatoes themselves make an excellent side dish, but since the only bread in the house much of the time lately is my daughter’s over-priced frozen gluten free loaf, I have taken to using the grilled potatoes as base for some toppings that I would typically put on bread.  It worked out quite well with the tuna salad, tomato and basil.  About 5-6 of these little potato appetizers roughly equate to a tuna salad sandwich, and there is no need to have chips or fries on the side, you are sort of already eating them.
