Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, then slice them in half to create even-sized pieces for grilling.
Place the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the potatoes evenly.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C). If you're using a gas grill, let it heat up for about 10 minutes.
While the grill heats, wrap the seasoned potatoes in a large piece of aluminum foil, creating a packet. Make sure to seal the edges tightly to trap the steam during cooking.
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packet every 8-10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
After 25 minutes, carefully open the packet to check if the potatoes are cooked through. They should be fork-tender with a golden, crispy surface.
Once done, remove the foil packet from the grill. Drizzle the grilled potatoes with lemon juice for a burst of freshness before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite grilled meats or vegetables.
