Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half so that all the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
Add the chopped rosemary and the potatoes to the bowl. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the oil and seasoning mixture.
Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 x 12 inches. Place an equal amount of seasoned potatoes in the center of each foil sheet.
Fold the edges of each foil sheet upwards to create a packet. Seal the packets tightly by folding and crimping the edges, ensuring no steam escapes during cooking.
If grilling, place the potato packets directly on the grill grates. If baking, set the packets on a baking sheet for easier handling. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam!) and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or part of a main meal.
