Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F) or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop.
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and then add the potatoes. Boil for 10 minutes or until they are just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them dry for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set them aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook gently for 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring the garlic becomes aromatic but does not burn. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Brush the pre-cooked potatoes generously with the butter and garlic glaze, reserving some glaze for later. Place the potatoes cut-side down on the preheated grill.
Grill the potatoes for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they develop beautiful grill marks and are golden and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the reserved butter and garlic glaze over the hot potatoes.
Optional: Sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course or enjoy on their own!
