You guys have to try grilling potatoes! I don't know how this idea escaped me all these years, but I'm in love and make them all the time now.
I needed a side to go with the steaks with cilantro chimichurri and I wanted to grill it. I had red potatoes on hand and a light bulb went off. Having never done this before, I did a little Googling, kept the recipe simple and hoped for the best. The crunchy potatoes were my favorite, but the skin on each potato has a nice crispness in contrast to the tender centers. Some of the grill flavor comes out in the potatoes too.
COOK'S NOTE: I've been using salt, pepper and chili powder for seasoning, but use whatever strikes your fancy.
Grilled Potatoes
Original Recipe
2-4 red potatoes per person (depending on size), sliced ~1/4" thick
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Other seasonings
Preheat the grill. Coat potato slices with olive oil and seasonings. Grill the potatoes in a single layer for about 5 minutes on each side or until potatoes are golden and cooked through.
After removing them from the grill, taste and sprinkle with a touch more salt if needed. These can be served with a dipping sauce, but they are pretty tasty one their own.
I love grilling potatoes! We put all kinds of stuff on them...even a little Old Bay every once and a while. They get so crispy :)

ReplyDeleteYummie!!! That looks so tasty :) I lov grilled food, especially when we are out camping. And to make that possible, you need a portable grill. It took me a while to find the best model for that purpose, but after reading an article about portable grills, and the reviews of the best models on the market, I found the one that had my name on it :) You can check out that article here: http://hikingmastery.com/top-pick/best-portable-grill.html
