Grilled Potatoes with Garlic Herb Oil
August 4, 2011 in sides

I am totally cheating with this post because my husband did all the work. I pulled the recipe out of a magazine and that was it. He did the chopping, the grilling, everything! But they turned out so delicious that I just had to share.
I am not at all familiar with grill talk so forgive me if you have to translate the recipe – I knew his “I just put them on the grill while I cooked the chicken” wouldn’t fly though. ;)
Like I said, they turned out so delicious. The outsides were so crisp but the insides were as soft as mashed potatoes.
Most grilled potato recipes I came across called for the potatoes to be boiled beforehand but out of sheer laziness in an effort to save a pot, we grilled them the entire time. If you want to boil them, boil until they are just about ready to be served and then throw them on the grill just to get the marks.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-high. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the grates; place potatoes in a single layer on the aluminum foil. Allow to cook, covered, for about 30 minutes or until tender, turning every once in awhile. Transfer to the part of the grill where there is no foil and cook just until the potatoes have grill marks and the outsides are extra crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- While the potatoes cook, go ahead and whisk the oil, rosemary, garlic, and salt together. Once the potatoes have been cooked, toss with the garlic-herb oil. Serve immediately.





Amanda, these look GREAT!
I am jealous that your husband will cook without coaxing. Speaking of lazy, my boyfriend will sit at home all day playing video games sometimes without even putting away the dishes! Potatoes look awesome, love how pretty they are on the outside and knowing they are nice and soft inside is great!
I have been wanting potatoes lately – I think I am going to have to sucker Randall into making these this weekend!
You had me at potatoes and then garlic BUT the fact that these are crispy and mashed potato like good grief… you’re killing me!!! I want these right now.
These look fabulous. I love crispy potatoes!
ha i love handing over the recipe to my husband as well :) but like you, i have to decipher his man speak into blog speak!
Those potatoes look to die for. Seriously looks like they came from a five star restaurant. YUMMY!
I think I dreamed about these last night. I saw them somewhere yesterday…they look amazing!!
I’m actually familiar with the recipe and indeed those potatoes are really good. I also don’t boil them before grilling…I think this way they turn out much crispier :)
I have never met a potato I didn’t love :D They look delicious and the grill marks are peeerfect!
Those look so good. Love all that rosemary :D
Tell your husband it came out great!
