Herb Seasoned Grilled Potatoes (Printable View)

Tender herb-seasoned potatoes wrapped in foil and grilled until golden for a simple, flavorful side.

# What You'll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 1½ pounds small Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces

→ Seasonings & Herbs

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
04 - 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
05 - 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Optional Garnishes

09 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
10 - Chopped fresh herbs for garnish

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat grill to medium-high, approximately 400°F.
02 - Combine potatoes, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated.
03 - Lay out two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide seasoned potatoes evenly between the sheets and spread into a single layer. Fold foil over potatoes and tightly crimp edges to seal, forming two packets.
04 - Place foil packets on preheated grill. Grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned.
05 - Open foil packets carefully, watching for steam. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and additional chopped herbs if desired. Serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get perfectly tender potatoes every time, with almost no cleanup.
  • The herbs mingle with garlic and olive oil for a flavor that always surprises with how much it delivers.
02 -
  • If you rush and under-seal the foil, you&aposll end up with half-cooked potatoes and a grill covered in charred bits.
  • Switching to smaller potato pieces made them cook faster and caramelize better; chunkier potatoes took forever and never browned as nicely.
03 -
  • Use heavy-duty foil and really pinch those seams closed to keep all the buttery juices inside.
  • Let some potatoes get lightly browned against the foil for a contrast of crisp and tender every time.
