🥔 Grilled Potatoes in Foil
Serves 4–6
Ingredients
- 2 lbs small potatoes (Yukon gold, red, or fingerling)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning)
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, bacon bits, fresh parsley
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the potatoes
- Wash and dice potatoes into 1–1½ inch chunks
- Pat dry
2️⃣ Toss with seasonings
- In a large bowl, mix potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs
3️⃣ Wrap in foil
- Place potatoes in heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Fold edges tightly to make a sealed packet
4️⃣ Grill
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C)
- Place foil packet on grill
- Cook 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through
- Test for tenderness with a fork
5️⃣ Serve
