Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the boiled potatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated. Let the potatoes marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated potatoes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the potatoes are golden brown and have grill marks.
Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or pair with your favorite grilled mains!
