Grilled roasted potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish, perfect for complementing any meal or enjoying on their own. Grilling them enhances their flavor and gives them a crispy texture on the outside and a soft texture on the inside. Below, we present a simple method for preparing grilled roasted potatoes that is sure to delight your family and friends.
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
Before you begin, make sure you have the following utensils:
Start by thoroughly washing the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. You can use a vegetable brush to ensure they are clean. After washing, dry them with a cloth or paper towel.
Depending on your preferences, you can choose to cut the potatoes in half lengthwise or into quarters. If you prefer to keep them whole, make some cuts in the top to ensure even cooking. This last method will also give them a more attractive look once roasted.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt, pepper, and the spices of your choice. Mix well to make sure all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, make sure it is well lit and covered in ash. If you are using a gas grill, turn it on and let it heat for a few minutes.
To prevent the potatoes from falling through the grill grates, you can wrap them in aluminum foil. Place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the foil, securely close the edges, and form a pouch. This will also help them cook evenly by trapping the heat.
Place the potato pouch directly on the grill. Cook for about 30 minutes, flipping the pouch halfway through cooking. This will allow them to cook evenly and roast properly. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can open the pouch during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
After 30 minutes, carefully open the aluminum foil pouch (be cautious of the steam). Use a knife to pierce a potato and check if it is tender. If they are still a bit firm, reseal the pouch and cook for a few more minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce.
All set! Now you have a simple recipe for grilled roasted potatoes that is sure to be a hit at your gatherings and family meals. If you enjoyed this recipe, I invite you to read more similar content on my blog.
