Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds new potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large, minced garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the new potatoes well and leave the skins on for extra texture. Cut any larger potatoes in half so all pieces are approximately the same size.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until just tender when pierced with a fork. Do not overcook.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the seasoning.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Toss the slightly cooled potatoes in the olive oil mixture until they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a grill basket, lightly oil the basket to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the coated potatoes directly on the grill grates or in the grill basket. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even charring.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are golden brown with grill marks, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grilled potatoes with fresh parsley and, if desired, crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
