Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Baby potatoes (red or yellow)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. You can halve larger potatoes to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the herb-oil mixture.
Lay two large sheets of aluminum foil on your work surface. Divide the coated potatoes evenly between the two sheets.
Fold the foil over the potatoes to create tightly sealed packets. Ensure there are no gaps for the steam to escape.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill, seam-side up. Close the grill lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through for even cooking.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill using tongs. Open them cautiously to avoid steam burns.
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired. Serve hot.
