Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
Step 2
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, leaving smaller ones whole.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly in the seasonings.
Step 4
Cut a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18x24 inches). Place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the foil.
Step 5
Dot the potatoes with small pieces of the unsalted butter, distributing it evenly across the mixture.
Step 6
Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping while cooking.
Step 7
Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
Step 8
Carefully remove the packet from the grill using tongs or oven mitts. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before opening (be cautious of steam).
Step 9
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a serving dish, and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
