Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large, minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes well and leave the skins on for extra texture. Cut any larger potatoes in half so all pieces are approximately the same size.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until just tender when pierced with a fork. Do not overcook.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the seasoning.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Toss the slightly cooled potatoes in the olive oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a grill basket, lightly oil the basket to prevent sticking.
Place the coated potatoes directly on the grill grates or in the grill basket. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even charring.
Once the potatoes are golden brown with grill marks, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the grilled potatoes with fresh parsley and, if desired, crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
