Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
Thoroughly wash and dry the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are larger, cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Tear off a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 18 inches long) and place the seasoned potatoes in the center. Add the cubed butter evenly on top of the potatoes.
Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold them over to seal tightly. Then fold the shorter sides inward to create a secure packet. Make sure the packet is well-sealed to prevent any juices from leaking.
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender.
Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill using tongs, as it will be very hot. Allow it to rest for a minute before carefully opening the foil to release the steam.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
