Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
Rinse the baby red potatoes thoroughly under cool water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice each potato into quarters or bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12 inches long each). Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among the sheets, placing them in the center of each piece of foil.
Add a half-tablespoon of butter to the top of each potato portion for extra flavor and moisture.
Fold each aluminum foil sheet into a sealed packet by bringing the sides up, folding them together, and then folding in the ends. Make sure the packet is well-sealed to keep in the steam.
Place the foil packets directly onto the preheated grill. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs, as they will be very hot. Let them rest for a few minutes before carefully opening the foil (watch out for escaping steam).
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot!
