This simple yet stunning recipe combines fresh red new potatoes with a savory blend of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme, all wrapped in foil packets for effortless grilling.

Ready in just 40 minutes and ideal as a versatile side dish, these herb-infused grilled potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats, fish, or veggies. Whether you're hosting a summer cookout or need a quick and easy side for weeknight dinners, this recipe is guaranteed to add smoky, aromatic flair to your table.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Thoroughly wash the red new potatoes to remove any dirt, then cut them in halves or quarters, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the cut potatoes in the olive oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly between the two sheets.
Fold the edges of the foil to create secure packets, sealing the potatoes inside completely to trap the steam during cooking.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill, seam side up. Close the grill lid and cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through the cooking time.
Use tongs or an oven mitt to carefully remove the packets from the grill. Be cautious when opening the foil as hot steam will escape.
Serve the grilled red new potatoes hot as a flavorful side dish to your favorite grilled proteins or vegetables.
