Ingredients

• 500 grams new potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

Step 2

Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, leaving smaller ones whole.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly in the seasonings.

Step 4

Cut a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18x24 inches). Place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the foil.

Step 5

Dot the potatoes with small pieces of the unsalted butter, distributing it evenly across the mixture.

Step 6

Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping while cooking.

Step 7

Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.

Step 8

Carefully remove the packet from the grill using tongs or oven mitts. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before opening (be cautious of steam).

Step 9

Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving dish, and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
