Skewered French Potato Salad

32 small new potatoes, cleaned
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons minced chives 

Rub potatoes well with vegetable oil. Skewer potatoes onto 8 skewers (4 potatoes per skewer), leaving some space between potatoes. Grill over moderately hot fire, turning once, for about 20 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, whisk together remaining ingredients. Arrange skewers on serving platter; twist each potato open slightly with a fork and drizzle with the dressing, turning each skewer to coat potatoes well. 
Makes 8 servings.
