Elevate your next outdoor gathering with these irresistible Perfect BBQ Potatoes, the ultimate side dish for any cookout! Made with tender baby potatoes and a smoky, savory seasoning blend of paprika, garlic powder, and oregano, this recipe is a breeze to prepare with just 10 minutes of prep time. Cooked to perfection in a foil packet on the grill, these potatoes are infused with subtle charred flavors while staying wonderfully moist and flavorful. Whether paired with juicy burgers, grilled chicken, or roasted veggies, these BBQ potatoes are versatile and crowd-pleasing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness, and serve them piping hot for the perfect complement to your summer barbecue spread.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) or prepare your charcoal grill for indirect cooking.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for texture and flavor. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss them to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again until each potato is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cut a large sheet of aluminum foil (approximately 18 inches long) and lay it flat on a work surface. Place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the foil.
Fold the sides of the foil towards the center, creating a sealed packet. Ensure the packet is tightly sealed to retain the steam while grilling.
Place the foil packet directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning the packet halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Carefully open the foil packet (watch out for hot steam!) and check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender and easily pierced. If needed, reseal the packet and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a bright and fresh garnish (optional).
Serve your Perfect BBQ Potatoes hot as a side dish with your favorite grilled meats or vegetables.
