Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, leaving smaller ones whole.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly in the seasonings.
Cut a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18x24 inches). Place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the foil.
Dot the potatoes with small pieces of the unsalted butter, distributing it evenly across the mixture.
Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping while cooking.
Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
Carefully remove the packet from the grill using tongs or oven mitts. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before opening (be cautious of steam).
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving dish, and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
