Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water. Leave the skin on for extra flavor.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the baby potatoes. Parboil the potatoes for about 10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let them cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Transfer the parboiled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill basket, lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated potatoes onto the grill or into the grill basket. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and have a slight char on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired for garnish.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on their own!
