Grilled Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs

Grilled potatoes with garlic and herbs

Summer grilling season is fast approaching, and the bug has already bitten us. We started grilling a couple weeks ago when we had a few warm days, and we’ll probably grill every weekend and a few days during the week between now and winter. We usually do at least one simple grill a week with hamburgers, hot dogs, and brats because we like how easy it is, and the other times we’ll grill chicken, ribs, or steaks. Potato or macaroni salad or some kind of slaw is our regular accompaniment, but lately I’ve been grilling potatoes and we love them! It’s just like roasting them in the oven, only we put the pan on the grill. I like how it keeps the kitchen from heating up so much, a big plus when the temperatures soar in July and August. And I like how the potatoes in the bottom of pan turn into nice brown crusty bits, which taste really good!

This isn’t a recipe but more of a formula because the ingredients change a bit every time I make it. I’ve used various potatoes, even sweet potatoes, and sometimes I mix two or more kinds for color; and I always have garlic, peppers, onions, two or three herbs, salt or seasoning salt, pepper, and olive oil. For this batch, I used Yukon Gold potatoes, red onions, whole garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, and sage. All the herbs were from our indoor garden.

GRILLED POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Equipment

9×13 foil pan
aluminum foil
grill

Ingredients

3 or 4 large potatoes, cut into bite-size chunks
1 head of garlic, all cloves peeled
1 medium to large onions, cut into bite-size chunks
1 large bell pepper, cut into bite-size chuncks
1/4 cup (2 ounces) olive oil
herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme work well)
fresh ground black pepper
sea salt or a seasoned salt

Preparation

1. Preheat the grill.

2. Put the potatoes, garlic cloves, onion, and bell pepper into the pan. Toss with olive oil and herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Sounds great! I like to grill sweet potatoes in my little grill pan with the holes. Onions are a perfect addition.

    I started “grilling” baked potatoes on my BBQ last summer. Wrap a baking potato up in aluminum foil and “bake” on the grill for about 45 minutes. It comes out perfect every time, samed “baked” flavor but no 400 degree oven in the sweltering summer months!

      IF you put your potatoes in the microwave before putting them on the grill you leave it on the gril less time and still tates great and if you take butter and sea salt and rub on the outside of potatoes then wrap in foil its great also

    I love to grill potatoes. I love your picture! We normally do sliced ones but I’ll have to try yours. It’s a great side dish for pretty much anything- hot dogs, chicken, etc.

    I’d love it with mint and oregano! Sort of like the oven-roasted Greek potatoes my mother used to make when I was little.
