Grilled Potatoes Recipe: Potatoes On The Grill (Red Potatoes Recipe)

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through making delicious grilled red potatoes, a perfect side dish for any meal. With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you'll learn how to achieve perfectly seasoned and cooked potatoes on the grill.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have the following ingredients ready:

• Red potatoes
• Fresh rosemary (or dried if fresh is unavailable)
• Garlic (fresh or powdered)
• Olive oil
• Salt

Practical Tips

• Choose medium-sized red potatoes for even cooking.
• Fresh rosemary enhances the flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in a pinch.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Wash and Slice: Thoroughly wash the red potatoes to remove any dirt. Slice them into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. This helps in cooking them evenly on the grill.
2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with:
   • 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
   • 1-2 teaspoons of minced garlic (or garlic powder)
   • A generous pinch of salt
   • Chopped fresh rosemary (to taste)

Practical Tips

• Ensure each potato slice is well-coated with the seasoning mixture for maximum flavor.
• Let the potatoes sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors before grilling.

Step 3: Preheat the Grill

1. Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures that the potatoes cook evenly and develop a nice char.
2. Prepare the Grill Surface: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the potatoes from sticking.

Common Pitfalls

• Avoid putting the potatoes on a grill that isn’t hot enough; they will become mushy rather than crispy.

Step 4: Grill the Potatoes

1. Arrange the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potato slices directly on the grill grates. Ensure they are spaced out to allow even cooking.
2. Grill Time: Cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Look for a golden-brown color and a tender texture.

Practical Tips

• Use a grill basket for easier handling if you have one; it prevents smaller slices from falling through the grates.
• Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, especially if your grill heats unevenly.

Conclusion
