Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Chili flakes
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, aiming for around 400°F. This ensures the potatoes will cook evenly and develop a nice char on the outside.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme or rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated. This mixture will impart a smoky and herbaceous flavor to the potatoes.
- Grill Potatoes: Place the potatoes cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides get crispy and are cooked through. Potatoes should be tender inside and have a golden, slightly charred exterior.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives, and if desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan, chili flakes, or lemon zest for an extra flavor boost. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, try to select potatoes of similar size or cut them uniformly.
- If you prefer softer potatoes, you can parboil them for 5 minutes before grilling.
- Adjust the seasoning quantities according to your taste preferences.
- These grilled potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- For a spicier kick, add red chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
