Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes or Yukon Golds, cut into halves or quarters
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried rosemary or Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil or grill-safe pan
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley
- Optional: grated Parmesan
- Optional: squeeze of lemon for serving
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Thoroughly wash and cut potatoes into uniform wedges or cubes to ensure even grilling and consistent cooking.
- Season Blend: Combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl, creating a fragrant seasoning mixture that will infuse potatoes with rich flavor.
- Foil Packaging: Create a robust aluminum foil packet by placing seasoned potatoes in the center of a large sheet, folding edges tightly to seal and prevent moisture escape while allowing internal steaming.
- Grilling Process: Position foil packet on preheated grill set to medium-high temperature (400°F), rotating once during cooking to promote uniform heat distribution and develop slight caramelization on potato surfaces.
- Doneness Check: After 20-25 minutes, carefully open foil packet and test potato tenderness with a fork; edges should appear slightly crisp and interior soft and creamy.
- Final Touch: Garnish grilled potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance overall taste profile, then serve immediately alongside complementary summer dishes.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure consistent cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Fold foil packets tightly to trap steam and heat, creating a perfect environment for tender, flavorful potatoes without losing moisture.
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer inside the foil packet to promote even heating and allow each piece to crisp up nicely.
- Experiment with different herb and spice combinations like thyme, paprika, or cayenne to match your main dish or personal taste preferences.
