Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
For Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Chili flakes
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, approximately 400°F, to ensure an optimal temperature for crispy, smoky potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme or rosemary, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Toss thoroughly until all potato pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Grill Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes cut side down directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking and browning. Grill until the potatoes are tender inside with a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a smoky flavor.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives and, if desired, add optional grated parmesan, chili flakes, or lemon zest for extra flavor. Serve warm.
Notes
- Choose evenly sized potatoes for consistent cooking.
- To prevent sticking, oil the grill grates lightly before cooking.
- For extra smoky flavor, use wood chips or charcoal on your grill.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or herbs as preferred.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats or as a flavorful vegetarian side.
