Ingredients
- 500 g baby new potatoes
- 20 g fresh mint leaves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 0.5 pieces lemon
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby new potatoes thoroughly and leave the skin on.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the garlic cloves and set aside. Tear or chop the fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces.
Step 4
Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, toss the partially-cooked potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, place the potatoes directly onto the BBQ grates or use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and have slight char marks.
Step 7
During the last minute of grilling, brush the potatoes lightly with melted butter for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 8
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving dish. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top and sprinkle with chopped fresh mint leaves.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy the fresh, aromatic flavors of mint and smoky grilled potatoes!
