Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Golds, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Grated Parmesan or crumbled feta for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) to prepare for cooking the potatoes evenly while achieving a nice char.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until each piece is thoroughly coated to infuse flavor.
- Grill the Potatoes: Place the potatoes cut-side down on a grill pan, grill basket, or thread them onto skewers. Grill for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they become golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and your choice of grated Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For crispier edges, boil the potatoes for 5 minutes before grilling to jumpstart the cooking process.
- Add sliced onions or bell peppers to the grill for additional flavor and variety.
- This dish pairs wonderfully as a side with grilled meats, burgers, or seafood.
