A simple and delicious side dish featuring russet potatoes seasoned with fresh herbs, garlic, and smoked paprika, grilled in foil to achieve crispy edges and tender insides.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Wash and quarter 2 pounds (900g) of russet potatoes. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Add the quartered potatoes to the bowl and stir gently to coat each piece evenly.
  4. Tear off two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 18 inches (45 cm) long. Divide the potatoes evenly between them, placing the potatoes in the center of each sheet.
  5. Fold the foil over the potatoes and crimp the edges tightly to enclose the potatoes completely, creating a sealed packet that traps steam.
  6. Place the foil packets over medium heat on the grill (about 375°F / 190°C). Grill for 35-40 minutes, turning the packets every 10 minutes to promote even cooking and crisping.
  7. Carefully open one packet (watch out for steam!) and pierce a potato with a fork. It should be tender inside with some crispy edges. If not quite done, reseal and grill another 5-10 minutes.
  8. Transfer the packets to a plate, open carefully, and serve hot. Optionally sprinkle with extra fresh herbs or a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Notes

To speed up cooking and encourage crispier edges, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before seasoning. Avoid overcrowding foil packets to ensure even cooking. Turn packets every 10 minutes to prevent burning and promote crispiness. If no grill is available, bake foil packets in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes, turning halfway through.
