Ingredients

  • 1 lb baby potatoes * see note 1
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • fresh pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Boil - Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until a fork inserts easily.
    Drain potatoes, rinse under cold water and let them sit for a few minutes until they are cool enough to handle.
  • Prepare - Pre-heat grill to high (500°F). Slice potatoes in half. Toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Grill - Place cut side down on the grill (either on a grilling plate or directly on the grill), and turn down the grill to medium-high. Cook for 2-3 minutes with the lid down, before checking. Potatoes are ready to flip when they are golden and crispy.
    Cook for another 5-10 minutes, turning as needed until all potatoes are golden and crispy.

Notes

  1. We've tested with baby potatoes and red potatoes (quartered). The baby potatoes turn out crispier, but the red potatoes were still very enjoyable as well.
