Grilled Potatoes
Description
Grilled Potatoes combines red potatoes sliced into half-inch rounds with a carefully mixed seasoning of herbs and spices including rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, and a hint of nutmeg. Tossing the slices with olive oil and seasoning ensures each piece is well-coated. The cooking technique uses double-layered foil packets placed on a medium-high grill to gently steam and grill the potatoes. The initial 20 minutes cook the potatoes evenly, followed by flipping and additional grilling uncovered to add slight browning and texture.
The flavor profile balances aromatic herbs with mild nuttiness from the nutmeg, subtly enhanced by the olive oil's richness. The result is tender potato slices with a fragrant and savory taste, suitable as a side dish for grilled meats or classic sandwiches like sloppy joes or chili cheese dogs.
To serve, remove the potatoes from the foil and plate them warm. They pair well with hearty grilled entrees for a complete meal. The foil packet method simplifies preparation and cleanup, suitable for both backyard grills and outdoor camping setups.
Pro tips include using a grill skillet or foil to control direct contact with the grill grate and tossing the potatoes well with seasoning before cooking to coat each slice evenly. Oven roasting is a viable alternative if grilling is not available.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. potato red
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Potato Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- ¾ teaspoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoons thyme
- ¾ teaspoons sage
- 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the spices for the potato seasoning. Drizzle the olive oil over the spice mixture and stir well to combine.
- Slice the potatoes into ½ inch thick slices. I like to thinly slice the round ends off so that each side of potato is able to lay flat on the grill.
- Place the potato slices into a large bowl and drizzle them with the olive oil/seasoning mix. Toss to combine well.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Layer two large pieces of foil down and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Place the potatoes on top of the foil, in a single layer if possible. Cover with another sheet of foil and seal it shut.
- Place the foil packet on the grill and shut the lid. Heat for 20 minutes.
- Remove the top layer of foil and use kitchen tongs to flip the potatoes. Leave the foil off the top and heat for an additional 5-10 minutes with the lid shut.
- Remove from the grill and serve!
Notes
- Use a grill skillet or double-layered foil to prevent potatoes from falling through the grill grates.
- Toss potatoes thoroughly with the seasoning and olive oil mixture to ensure even flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high for consistent cooking temperature.
- Flip the potatoes carefully halfway through to promote even tenderness and slight browning.
- Foil packets help retain moisture and make cleanup easier.
- This recipe pairs nicely with grilled meats, chili cheese dogs, or sloppy joes.
- Use the oven and follow a similar roasting method if a grill is not available.
