These crispy garlic grilled potatoes are infused with fresh herbs and olive oil, delivering a perfect balance of crunch and tenderness. Quick and easy to prepare, they make a flavorful side dish ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed or finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (added at the end)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Zest of ½ lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut 2 pounds of Yukon Gold or red potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 4 crushed or minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to blend flavors.
  3. Add the potato chunks to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat every piece in the herb-garlic oil mixture. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes if time allows.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). Lightly oil the grill basket or pan to prevent sticking.
  5. Transfer the potatoes to the grill basket, spreading them evenly. Close the lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking or turning every 5-7 minutes to ensure even crisping and prevent burning. Test tenderness with a fork.
  6. Once grilled, transfer potatoes back to the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and the zest of half a lemon (optional). Toss lightly to combine and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Pat potatoes dry before marinating to ensure crispiness. Use a grill basket to prevent potatoes from falling through grates. Turn potatoes every 5-7 minutes for even cooking. Add parsley at the end to maintain brightness. If potatoes char too quickly, move to a cooler part of the grill or reduce heat.
