Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes (or small red/yellow potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Step 2
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 4
Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil (about 18 inches each). Lay them on a flat surface, overlapping slightly to create one large, wide sheet.
Step 5
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the center of the foil. Spread them out into an even layer, but leave enough space around the edges to fold the foil into a sealed packet.
Step 6
Dot the top of the potatoes with the diced butter, distributing it evenly.
Step 7
Fold the long sides of the foil up and over the potatoes, then fold the edges tightly to seal. Fold the shorter sides of the foil packet in, ensuring the packet is completely sealed to trap steam during cooking.
Step 8
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through for even cooking.
Step 9
To check if the potatoes are done, carefully open one side of the foil (use tongs or oven mitts to avoid burns) and pierce the potatoes with a fork. They should be tender and easily pierced.
Step 10
Remove the foil packet from the grill and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before opening completely. Serve the grilled potatoes hot as a side dish alongside your favorite grilled meats or vegetables.
