Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the new potatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the new potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. If the potatoes are particularly large, quarter them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped oregano, sea salt, ground black pepper, and lemon zest.
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Allow the potatoes to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Use a grilling basket or thread the potatoes onto skewers to make them easier to handle on the grill.
Place the potatoes on the preheated grill. Cover the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and have grill marks.
Check the doneness by inserting a fork into the potatoes; they should be soft and cooked through.
Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately as a perfect accompaniment to your Mediterranean-themed meal.
