Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons Fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into even-sized halves to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss the ingredients until the potatoes are well coated.

Step 6

Take a large piece of aluminum foil, enough to hold the potatoes, and lay it flat. Transfer the potato mixture onto the foil, spreading it evenly in a single layer. Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a pouch, sealing the edges tightly to trap steam.

Step 7

Place the foil pouch directly on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 35-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly charred, turning the pouch halfway through the cooking time to ensure even heating.

Step 8

Carefully remove the foil pouch from the grill using tongs and let it rest for a minute before opening. Be cautious of the hot steam escaping.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite Mediterranean grilled main dish.
