Ingredients

• 2 pounds small potatoes (such as fingerling or new potatoes)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, aiming for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 4

Add the potato pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.

Step 5

Using a grill basket or skewers, arrange the potatoes in a single, even layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling through the grill grates.

Step 6

Place the potatoes on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes or so, until the potatoes are tender and have a nice char on the outside.

Step 7

Remove the grilled potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the potatoes for garnish if desired and serve immediately.
