Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x12 inches in size.
Divide the potato mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing the potatoes in the center of each sheet.
If desired, sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes before sealing the packets.
Fold up the edges of each foil sheet to create a sealed packet. Ensure the packets are tightly sealed to trap steam for cooking but leave a little room inside for heat expansion.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs. Allow them to cool slightly before opening, as the steam inside will be hot.
Transfer the grilled potatoes to serving plates or serve them directly from the foil packets for a rustic presentation.
