Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 pound baby potatoes
Seasoning Mix
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Heat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking the potatoes evenly and getting a slight char for added flavor.
- Prepare the seasoning mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir well to create a flavorful butter seasoning.
- Toss the potatoes: Place the baby potatoes on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Pour the melted butter seasoning over the potatoes and toss them gently to coat evenly. Arrange the potatoes cut side down for optimal grilling.
- Wrap the potatoes: Fold the sides of the aluminum foil towards the center, sealing the packet securely to trap heat and moisture inside while grilling.
- Grill the potatoes: Place the foil packet directly on the grill grates. Cook for 15 minutes, then carefully open the packet and flip all the potatoes to ensure even cooking. Reseal the packet and continue grilling for another 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Remove the foil packet from the grill, carefully open it, and toss the grilled potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes or fingerlings for the best texture and flavor.
- If you prefer, add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme along with the dried oregano.
- Be careful when opening the foil packet as steam will escape and can cause burns.
- These potatoes can also be made in the oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes if grilling is not an option.
- To keep leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat on a skillet or grill.
