Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g baby new potatoes
- 20 g fresh mint leaves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 0.5 pieces lemon
Instructions
Wash the baby new potatoes thoroughly and leave the skin on.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the garlic cloves and set aside. Tear or chop the fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces.
Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the partially-cooked potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Once the grill is hot, place the potatoes directly onto the BBQ grates or use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and have slight char marks.
During the last minute of grilling, brush the potatoes lightly with melted butter for an extra layer of flavor.
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving dish. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top and sprinkle with chopped fresh mint leaves.
Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy the fresh, aromatic flavors of mint and smoky grilled potatoes!
