Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If the potatoes are larger than bite-size, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create a spicy seasoning paste.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned potatoes on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold the foil over the potatoes and crimp the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil packet on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning the packet halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill and open it to release the steam. Sprinkle the grilled potatoes with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve the spicy grilled potatoes hot as a side dish with your favorite grilled meats, vegetables, or as a standalone snack.
