Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the new potatoes thoroughly but leave the skins on. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but not falling apart. Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, toss the boiled potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the potatoes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the edges. Remove from the grill and set aside.
While the potatoes are grilling, prepare the lemon garlic aioli. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with the lemon garlic aioli or serve it on the side as a dip.
Sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the potatoes for garnish and an extra pop of freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy!
