Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375-400°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly spread for consistent cooking.
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut any larger baby potatoes in half to ensure uniform cooking. Leave smaller potatoes whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned potatoes on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold the foil over the potatoes, creating a sealed packet to trap the steam and flavors inside.
Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill. Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping the packet occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Carefully open the foil packet to check for doneness. The potatoes should be fork-tender. If they need more time, reseal the foil and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the packet from the grill and carefully open it, allowing the steam to escape.
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, before serving hot.
