Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and scrub the red potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and lemon juice. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh rosemary finely and add it to the oil mixture along with the black pepper. Add salt if using.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss them well to coat evenly with the marinade.
Let the potatoes marinate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Place the potato slices on the grill. Grill the potatoes for about 15 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks, turning occasionally to avoid burning.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the grilled potatoes warm as a side dish or on their own for a hearty, healthy meal.
